Dear RT,
There's no question of the importance of bearing witness and taking a visible stand, whether through peaceful protest, direction action or other means. As you say, "there are many variations on the powerful political actions we may take."
Personally, I like to think that offering peace, love & understanding has a positive effect not only on the "practitioner," but also on the recipient. There have been studies that support this notion (and probably some that don't), but for me it's an intuitive thing.
More to the point, I think that the dichotomy between "changing myself" and "changing the world" is a false one. To me, they are so closely linked as to be indistinguishable. |
