Today is a day to both remember rights activists of the past and the workers of today, many of whom are under such stress on their jobs and in their lives. Even we who are more fortunate, may be so only temporarily, then cast back onto our own resources in the face of job loss.
This morning I have been reading in Stephane Hessel's Time for Outrage, an important tract on the kind of emotion which is necessary for workers to have now. Rather than an incitement to violence, it is a goad to young people for thoughtful action. The urging on toward action should be taken by older people as well.
Indeed it is a time for outrage. While violence can and must be understood, there is no need for physical attack on another human being. Yet, let the wealthy overlords know, justice cannot be denied forever.
