Courage? Hope? (Cornel West)


The country is in deep trouble. We've forgotten that a rich life
consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the
world a little better than you found it. We need the courage to
question the powers that be, the courage to be impatient with
evil and patient with people, the courage to fight for social
justice. In many instances we will be stepping out on nothing,
and just hoping to land on something. But that's the struggle.
To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never to allow despair to
have the last word.

(On the 40th anniversary of Malcolm X's assassination)



Peace Forever,
Firacub.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things i cannot change (janice's stupidity)

the courage to change the things i can (keshi's innocence - though she may hate me for dis)

and the wisdom to no the difference
