The Heros of my life time

A YOUTHFUL UPRISING.. For Better Life for All

"Being of service is not enough. You must become a servant of the people. When you do, you can demand their commitment in return."  

For some time I have been wondering, how do we organize and unite young people for a common cause and motivate them to fight for what is right. I believe a spark can start a fire, but the spark must come from somewhere or something must cause or ignite the spark. This should fall within the power of intention, the cause of the spark must be intentional to cause the fire. 

"...there has to be someone who is willing to do it, who is willing to take whatever risks are required. I don't think it can be done with money alone. The person has to be dedicated to the task. There has to be some other motivation." 

The one that ignites a spark with an intention does not only free the people but also to bring awareness.

 A community that is aware of its challenges, needs and resources it's a thriving community and above all it is a united community. And the people within that community understands that:-

1. "We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own."

2. "It is not enough to teach our young people to be successful... so they can realize their ambitions, so they can earn good livings, so they can accumulate the material things that this society bestows. Those are worthwhile goals. But it is not enough to progress as individuals while our friends and neighbors are left behind."

We need that one who is willing to ignite the spark with an intention to cause the fire that will lead to an uprising. Thus, I shall call him or her the superman of Aristotle.

This means, it is not the bravery itself that is central, but rather certain moral ends to be achieved by means of heroic action, the hero of responsibility, just like the hero of honour is very much aware of himself as an agent with purpose to fulfil and she recognizes that the recipients of his or her actions are also agents.

"Perhaps we can bring the day when children will learn from their earliest days that being fully man and fully woman means to give one's life to the liberation of the brother who suffers. It is up to each one of us. It won't happen unless we decide to use our lives to show the way."

"Students must have initiative; they should not be mere imitators. They must learn to think and act for themselves and be free."
