Own What You Know

"Once awake, you can no longer pretend you're still asleep. You must own what you know"

Life is a full contact sport and it seems the more you know the more you get hit.

Those of us who care about the world want to know more. We want all the information that is available to us, but we get hurt. We get emotional, we are affected, we cannot detach ourselves.

People are hurting, the Earth is dying, the world is cruel...this is not meant to be depressing it is truth. Once we are awake to these things we must not fall back asleep. There is no falling back to sleep. Take ownership of what you know, do not turn a blind eye. Just own it.

You will not make yourself feel better by turning the other way and pretending that the things that are not convenient for you do not exist. I will not judge you for not doing anything but do not pretend like it isn't there. Yes, I wish we were all better people and would do more but too many people find it "inconvenient" to change.

Wake Up! Open your eyes to the injustice, the problems, the world, and do not fall back to sleep.
