Gambia - it's a good thing we are coming on here to add our voice to our national conversation. But, without balance, it's just a confused uproar - "virtue is in the middle."
Thanks to the miracle of social media and of nerds taking over our existence, civil disobedience is being digitalised and it's a good thing. It's amazing how much impact you can have with just a smartphone and a hashtag. Today, even my type with glossophobia could be heard from our bedrooms.
However, whilst it's virtuous to disobey a thing that you feel was designed to make a few more equal than the many, it's equally virtuous to know when to apply your brakes. Taking things to excess would manifest as recklessness, and not only that; it may cause you to lose your truth, or reveal your true colours - as in your ulterior motive with what you bash. Well, evidently!
There's no system that's excellent and delightful in all respects. So, if you act as if yours is the perfectest thing since [what I want to say is rude], you’re only being a political ambassador trying to give excuse for not doing better or trying harder.
But also, if you're campaigning for change to a system in which everything and everyone works in perfect harmony, delete that thought already, because shit will always happen. We gotta be even-handed in the way we appraise. It will take us far.
