Reply #61: Well, there's never really much chance of "winning" [View All]

To break out the Zen perspective again, the trick is to do the work without being attached to the results.

Most people are never going to wake up. That's just the nature of the game, and those in power know it. Only a few will ever stumble across the truth, and usually when they least expect to. But even so, there is a need for people like us to keep advocating for truth and progress. We aren't going to "win" in the worldly sense - meaning we are never going to get through to the majority. But it is the few who do finally "get it" who make the effort worthwhile.

Having said that, I'm certainly not preaching from a high horse here. I know very well how discouraging and depressing this work can get, and I struggle with it frequently. I guess that's how we know it's really worth something. As JFK wisely pointed out, "we do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
