No struggle, no progress...

Preparing for Revolution Month...Quote #4:
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning." - Frederick Douglass

John sez:
These are not metaphors for violent political struggle alone. They can be used for men (and women) to resist the shallow pursuits society keeps us focused on. Plow up the ground and dig deep to find the compassion and empathy you have buried within. A revolution in human consciousness will be what blossoms.
