Things are always easy when you're just saying. Tons of books told us to be brave, but little of us really do. I've watched a movie called "The Helps" these days. It describes the days when the Negros were still segregated by the Jim Crow laws.
"we living in hell, trapped." -- a quote in the movie
The story was set in Mississippi during the 1960s. A girl, Eugenia Skeeter Phelan, had gotten her college diploma and was willing to be a writer.
It reminds me of the situation I'm facing. For most people, they'd better live their peaceful life, pretending not seeing any unfair and injustice events happening "far from" or "outside" their lives. Actually, I'm, the one, who lives sometimes exactly like that. "Life is too difficult" I said, "even just to live myself settled. How can I have energy to act even more on other's own buisness?" But deep in my heart, I know that things shouldn't be so. There are people suffereing, people crying, and people dying. These are the unbearable situatios that shouldn't be accepted!
"Things are fine around here! Why you stir on trouble?" Stuart, in the movie, said to Skeeter. Ironically, Stuart just told Skeeter that he like her honesty and encourage her to write what she believes in in the justice in the society. He love's her energy, but ain't get any idea how should she strive for African American's right.
Surly, life's really difficult with when struggles comes up when ignoring the truth telling by, perhaps my gaurdian angels, or some higher spiritual sound of mine. Though, I got so much problems in other part of my very own, I gotta do something! For people in pain, in hopeless, in theirr struggles of lives. Can I just never be afraid of doing the right things? Being courageous takes courage, indeed.
