Is-the-fire-real - Finding The Fire To Carry

We cannot merely pray to you, O God, to end war; For we know that You have made the world in a way That man must find his own path to peace. Within himself and with his neighbor.

We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end starvation; For You have already given us the resources With which to feed the entire world, If we would only use them wisely.

We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to root out prejudice; For You have already given us eyes With which to see the good in all men, If we would only use them rightly.

We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end despair, For You have already given us the power To clear away slums and to give hope, If we would only use our power justly.

We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end disease; For You have already given us great minds With which to search out cures and healing, If we would only use them constructively.

Therefore we pray to You instead, O God, For strength, determination and will power, To do instead of just pray, To become instead of merely to wish.

—Rabbi Jack Riemer, A Sabbath Prayer

If they keep empowering anti-democratic authoritarians by not voting, there will, in fact, come a time when no one will be elected again.

They just think that their team will be the one who gets to wield absolute power afterwards.

why do you guys talk like you think not voting means no one gets elected
