Hi Maha, Steven Downes once said the trick was to stay productive and not let others push you off your stride. If their power is based on stopping activity, or preventing forward movement then eventually they will have to give up. The Dali Lama when asked why he didn’t hate the Chinese said something like “they have taken all they can but they can’t have my heart.” We often don’t have a choice but to live in a painful reality but don’t need to accept its crippling expectations.

Not sure which of these songs is more appropriate. The first we sang on the picket lines set up by the NAACP to protest discrimination against black restaurant workers in Oakland California, mid-sixties. Kids against history I guess.
