"Today's problems can not be solved in the consciousness in which they were created." ~ Albert Einstein
Live by example. If you match rage with rage you perpetuate it. If you match stupidity with stupidity you perpetuate it. Ghandi influenced thousands and thousands by not only not being ignorant of the issues of the day, but in the way he chose to adress them. Ghandi was right. We must become the change that we want to see in the world.
I applaud your digging of the truth but I do not agree with your method in dealing with it. Violence begets violence. Sufi's say if one man is really changed, he draws 10,000 to himself. I take that to mean that we must make changes on the inside to have any effect on the outside. It all starts within ourselves. Be what you want the world to be.
Being aware though, is part of the same truth. It's just what you do with that awareness that makes the difference.
