RADICAL

What is Radical?

To be genuinely conserving is radical;
In a world where greed is the norm, generosity is radical;
In a world where apathy reigns, engagement is radical;
In a world where selfishness is normal; selflessness is radical;
In a reactionary world; creativity is radical;
In a world of "what is in it for me?", genuine altruism is radical;
In a world of ignorance, education is radical;
In a world where taking too much is normal, giving back is radical;
In an anthropocentric world, understanding we are an equal species is radical;
In a world of the status quo; desire for positive change is radical.
In a world of comfort, sacrifice is radical;
In a world of talk talk talk, action is radical;
In a world of slavery of all species, acting for freedom is radical.

In a world of fear, hope is radical.
