I made a decision last night. I am going to do something. I don't know exactly what yet, however small or large an impact it will have, but I've asked God to put me in the right place, and am confident that he will. Whatever it takes. 
We were watching the movie Amazing Grace, and I was so inspired, it kinda put things into perspective. Wilberforce spent fifteen years of having a deeply troubled soul because the lives of undeserving people were being sickeningly abused, murdered and exploited. Fifteen years of striving to his utmost, of utter selflessness and constant heartache trying to change things.


There is nothing new under the sun, things are much the same today. Hundreds of thousands of innocent lives are being brutally murdered and exploited for no reason except for the poor to get poorer and the rich to get richer and have more power... as if they don't have enough already. The cause is so obviously humanitarian, and it really upsets me that people don't care or even listen, just treat you like a crackpot or get mad because your different opinion actually has evidence to prove it.


 It is slightly harder to convince people though, Wilberforce only had to take people to the ships to smell the smell of death and show the thousands of signatures. There are already far more signatures than he had for our cause, but they have buried the bones, and silence the signatures through their stranglehold on the media - and thus the media's stranglehold on us - and the very perpetuators of the problem have such power in so many places. No one will support me, but I don't care anymore, I am doing this because I care about people's lives and am sick of absolute sickening gut wrenching wasteful death and suffering, and the perpetuators being the very ones whom the rest of the world sees as the good people doing us all a favour. They prefer to start with a controversial half-truth before telling us the full, uncontroversial, unpalatable truth - cut in half, beautifully packaged so nobody is too upset. Don't believe it, I beg you. 

Wilberforce did also spend months of soul searching and making sure his heart was in the right place, and i know i definitely need to do that as well. It's because of Gods amazing grace to us that we should fight for other people to share in the same hope that we have. ..so much injustice...
