The point of all this is....I was reading the dog-eared page which was from Mahatma Gandhi, "All Men are Brothers" and it stated this:
"Man and his deed are two distinct things. It is quite proper to resist and attack a system, but to resist and attack its author is tantamount to resisting and attacking oneself. For we are all tarred with the same brush, and are children of one and the same Creator, and as such the divine powers within us are infinite. To slight a single human being it to slight those divine powers, and thus to harm not only that being but with him the whole world."
At a time when we all seem to want to attack individuals, like S. Truett Cathy, or our President or the Republican runner for the next presidency this little tidbit is a good reminder that it is the system we should be resisting, not the man. What good comes of attacking an individual, in my experience, very little. It is when we stand up against a system that we can truly make changes.
Truth is I was just about to rant about a blogger I use to like to follow who seems to have become to big for his britches, but better to just do what I do as a stand against what he does and be done with it. Who cares about that one person, stand for what you believe in and you will make a difference.
