The Everdeafening Silence

     I was thinking about change today and I asked myself what the reoccurring theme of successful change was, and came to this conclusion. Noise. Great people have never been afraid to speak their philosophy and have never hesitated to. They also don't make excuses like being afraid of the consequences that could come about from being politically incorrect. I fully believe that every human being on this planet has thoughts boiling within them that never surface on the account of the fear that their socially unacceptable thought will be attacked. It all comes down the massive amount of silence in the world.
     My perfect world would consist of active groups that discuss issues and people that take action on their beliefs. Especially through writing. "Bringing the noise" does not have to be defined by yelling at a liberal colleague or amassing thousands of people in riot against unruly cat grooming. Writing is such a powerful tool that kids my age truly neglect. It is a gateway that allows you to express everything in your head that you feel should be heard.
     For the sweet love of John Locke, will you people please have an opinion!?
"Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it. I think that all the violence is worse then all the silence." - Lupe Fiasco
