(3,747 posts)Physical activism isn't the only component--the most visible, and what I personally think is most effective, but certainly not the only way to contribute to the cause. Do what you feel you can, and my thanks for doing so.
I can understand the depressing things...the world is a pretty shitty place. What changes that for me is the people who I see have it far worse than I do, and yet persevere through their personal hells to do what is best for their community. What sadness I feel I allow myself to hold onto and know for a bit, and then I pack it down into a ball of fire somewhere deep down inside me. That fire keeps on growing as long as they continue to oppress us. It's not a cure for the sadness, but it does allow me to transform it into something productive.
