You notice it again and again and you start to question why? why am I hearing about this over and over, it's never been brought up before, why is it so interesting right now?
You start to listen out for key words in the media, on tv and in newspapers. It's slipped in to programs, it's small but it stands out to you because it does everywhere else.
You find yourself tutting or cursing under your breath and people around you wonder if they missed something in the show.
You start to look in to it more, you google a few things and find you're not the only person with views on it and your research goes deeper.
You start to form an opinion upon it finding you're against it, you've done your research and it feels wrong.
You feel alone, scared, angry, helpless.
You have a choice. Do you fight? or close your eyes?
How do you fight though? that's what I find the most frustrating about it, how do we change what we see as wrong? I see voting as pointless, all governments are corrupt and lie. (Put in government lies in youtube, there are hundreds of videos that will make you grit your teeth to hold back the curse words you want to throw at these ********) I do vote and I do my research on who I vote for but I still see it as pointless.
I can understand why many people turn to violence as official ways of dealing with a problem take so long and are costly.
I'm interested in my local area and there are a view things I would like to see dealt with but to be honest I have no idea how I'm meant to go about that, I've been to see my local council member before about something, I've emailed them on the odd occasion too but I have found that I have been let down.
We write our blogs and make great artwork and movies telling people about the things we see as wrong in the world but is that all we can do? What can I do to change the world?
