As one who was born into, and continues to live in a crumbling world with an inumerable myriad of social, economic, environmental, and ethical issues, I find that it's our duty to actively fight against the forces that seek to undermine others. Moreso than for ourselves we must stand up for the rights and liberties of others who are less fortunate, not with a tokenist or 'savior' mentality, but one that seeks to uplift and to celebrate difference.

If we do not do this, we are condemming our own futures, and leaving our fates in the hands of opressors.
