RE: Going Viral for a Cause - And Why That Might Not Be What You Want

in #life7 years ago

"Energy always dissipates". True that.

It's the same thing with protests, not really a solution because it's people following an energy of excitement over a cause but they don't really have an idea of what they want to accomplish. Also a reason why we see so often violence at protests: as the energy dissipates people become desperate to "make a difference" at the last minute and sometimes that, unfortunately, turns into lashing out at others.

Better to utilize tools like breathing and self-writing to stabilize ourselves and become more effective on an individual basis.

Thanks for sharing, Joe.

Indeed tyler - thanks for watching and for the feedback. It is important to get these points out so that we start to better understand where our real leverage for change is and why so often we set out with good intentions and noble purposes but end up with disappointment or a mediocre result at best.

Also, resteemed to make it go viral.

thanks!
