“To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.” -Chesterton

A friend's blog (http://dsdoconnor.com/) put up a series of movie clips that is certain to ignite your spirit and zeal. Though they were all inspiring and encouraging, these two from "The Giver" really hit home for me. No surprise there, as anyone who knows me knows of my passion for truth (no matter how hard it is to see, hear, digest, and spread to others). As self explanatory as this first clip is, I am still often surprised at just how many stay silent. While I fully understand how difficult it is to speak up especially in these times when we often stand "alone" in our truth-inspired statements, there are some issues that just must be defended.  Is our society so faraway from that of this dystopian one where all of its members are blocked from feeling emotion? Not at all, in fact in certain instances we have become just that. How many people do you know who have dehumanized babies and blocked all emotion surrounding the abortion issue? For those of you who do know the truth, you have a duty to speak up. So be courageous and do it.
