Right Twix? Left Twix?

       You can protest, protest, protest, and perhaps you will bring about some change. You can scream to your hearts content because after all "squeaky wheel gets the grease" right? So stomp your foot, raise some hell, and know that you are having an impact. But before you crawl into bed at night, before you allow your heart to become all warm and fuzzy, and sure as heck, before you degrade others and cast their opinions to the dirt, I want you to ask yourself one question...when all is said and done...when you are read about in the history books 100 years from now, when they speak about you in schools, and study the society you were a part of...how will history remember you? What side of history will you be on? When "they were the best of times, they were the worst of times" is challenged and dissected, when these new ideas and Utopian notions are no longer raw and new (on trial, not yet judged by future result and implications, unprotected by a failure to see characteristic mistakes and errors), when these days are judged in the future and all her mistakes, failures, and yes, achievements, are plainly seen in 20/20 hindsight...what side of history will you be on?
               
       We will not be judged by our emotions. Future generations will not feel the same waves of passion or political partisan. They will simply see the results of it; be it good or bad.  History reveals to us the mistakes of the past and gives to the future a personal "diary" full of all the rights and all the wrongs. We do not feel the feelings and face the same struggles as our founders, we did not live through the ideological warfare and persuasions of Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia
, nor has our generation taken up arms in a civil war.  Each and every generation is presented with a unique set of challenges and incredible responsibility. History continues and you simply become part of the narrative. So, while you're helping to write it's pages...what side of history will you  be on? Rise up!
