STAND AND DELIVER!

Sigh... So relieved that everything turns out ok (or at least, better than nothing)... You know, they say that "It is necessary only for the good man to do nothing for evil to triumph." I kinda agree with that statement now, though in this case, it's more of an injustice than evil. But ya, actions have to be taken to prevent bad stuff from happening.

Sometimes, I really dun understand how ppl can be so unwilling to stand up and make a statement for a change. They juz seem so... resigned to their fate. When an outrageous policy or rule came out, they grumble and curse and complain about it, but take no actions to change it. Or when totally illogical rules has been applied forcefully to them for a long time, they do nothing to rise up against them, prefering the status quo, or the annoying "hey, things have always been like that." attitude.

If everyone has a mentality like that, there would be no Boston Tea Party, nor the Independence of India, nor the Gunpowder Plot (though personally I dun agree with Guy Fawkes method, and the plot nv came true anyway), and the world would be in a much darker state (or would it? Debatable). We really need more ppl out there to stand out and face all the gunfires so that change is possible... I dread for the day when all such species will be extinct or removed before the ideas even hatched, like the world of George Orwell's 1984... Well, at least with have Live 8 now!!!

Juz wanna share a quote with everyone b4 I end this. It's a slogan by the Suffragette, short, concise, and inspiring:

"Deeds, not words!"
