Acts of hope - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Acts of hope - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog One of my new friends, Filiz from Turkey, sent me a link to a very interesting article on activism. The main point that the article makes is that activism is for the long term. You cant expect immediate results that clearly follow from your actions. You need to look at long term results, Also, youre not saving the world. Heres my favourite quote from the article: History is like weather, not like checkers. A game of checkers ends. The weather never does. Thats why you cant save anything. Saving is the wrong word. Jesus saves and so do banks: they set things aside from the flux of earthly change. We never did save the whales, though we mightve prevented them from becoming extinct. We will have to continue to prevent that as long as they continue not to be extinct. Brilliant stuff, read it!
