ACT

    

"Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets...-



One of my favorite songs,one of my favorite bands.
The reason i picked this song for today's post is because for over two weeks now,my city is in a boiling situation,very similar to the lyrics and the video.To be more clear:
Athens finally followed the example of fellow countries like Spain and Hungary and people are staying for whole days in central squares of their city in order to send a very clear message.To whom?To themselves,their co-citizens,their politicians,the media,the other countries,to the next generations that are watching and hopefully will learn something from it.The message is:"Our tolerance is over and either you(we)take responsibility for your(our)actions,or don't pretend that this is democracy".

I was never really good talking about politics.However,the financial crisis that has been the "hip"topic in political fields for the past two years is not the only problem that we are dealing with.
To change the world you have to change yourself first.We have to "give ourselves one more chance".
I went to the main square of Athens and i will keep fighting for my rights and every human right that people deserve to enjoy.
So,what did YOU do today?How did you act?How did you spend your day?
It's not financial anymore.It begins from little things,little details.
Maybe when you read "act",you think of actors,actresses,but the drama is enough.
I can make new lists about ideas of how you can act and make a difference today,and i will,eventually,through this blog,but you have to think of your own little things that you are postponing for weeks and months and years.
The good news is that when you actually DO them,all the things that you are postponing,you will be able to do any-thing aftewards.True story.
Stop talking(i did,too).Breathe,make a step.Jump.Move.Go see something that you haven't seen.Invite friends over,organize a party.Be spontaneous,not lazy.Action heroes like the adrenaline,so try something extreme.
And if you achieve something that hasn't been done before in your life,you'll be your own hero.If you achieve something that hasn't been done before in anybody's life,you'll be our hero.


A revolutionary child,yours,
