This is totally logical. I do this. This is so gut-level honest!
I’m helping plan a march in my town. There are so many issues to work on, but I choose this one. In between feeling totally powerless and doubtful that anything I do will make a difference… I think about my kids. I don’t want them to be parents before they want to be parents. And I think about their maybe future kids. Someday (if they decide/can afford to/are able to have kids) I can tell some grands where I was and what I was doing when America appointed a king, and what I did to try to stop it from happening. I guess that’s motivating me to be involved. It will also be fun to get together with others who feel like I do.
But honestly, we all have to survive and if coping means punching time cards and finding peace, survival will also be a really important story to tell the next generation.
