Rippling

[pjthompson]

Random quote of the day:


"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and...those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

—Robert F. Kennedy, speech, University of Cape Town, South Africa, June 6, 1966

jerk.

post this quote at a time when I haven't just backed down from something.

Backing down isn't necessarily an act of cowardice. Sometimes it's an act of de-escalation, or a sign of maturity, or a compromise that will allow for the greater good... It ain't all apartheid and the tanks rolling through Tiananmen Square, sweets.
