You state there is a need to act, but apparently that need is not that
pressing then. Christ, Gandhi and King didn't aspire to be what they
became.. they believed in something and went beyond the local cafe with
their beliefs. My point is that if the need to act is as urgent and serious
as you claim, your aspirations matter not, and you should act.
