ok, it doesn’t matter if you support kony2012 or not. and the whole make him famous thing, i personally feel can sometimes unintentionally celebrate who he is, and his power.
and yes, i don’t like the whole celebrating ones arrest, but i do believe in the justice and rights of the people who have had to live lives very different to ones they could’ve lived only because that choice was taken away from them. my thoughts weekly, are what did we do for the least of these? and its true, what do you do for the least of the people. the people who cry out, scream out for help in the simplest ways?
yes, KONY may seem like a trend right now, but the consequences, the good ones, will have adverse and lasting affects for past, now and future generations who will then get to decide how to live and how to love, because they would’ve been shown how to love by millions of strangers who chose to listen to their stories, and donate to this very cause. They will be shown how to live a life of peace and freedom, and one where the very nature of love is not dependant on race, religion, social status, sexual orientation, gender, but rather on the fact that there is a goodness in this world.
so to those hating on this cause, and any other causes similar to this, and causes such as poverty and child hunger and the need for education for our future generations (micah challenge, world vision and save the children are very dear to my heart), need to grow up. because the world has much bigger problems to deal with then yourself. I’m sorry that perhaps this seems a little rash, but the fact is that one day these children will be ruling the world, and the choices we make now, not tomorrow, can help create a wave of difference.
so who cares if its a trend or not? if it leads to people supporting this cause, and helping to make a difference then it shouldn’t matter.
Change starts when something within you is stirred and then manifested into actions.
