Opportunities like this, to stand up and be counted, are few and far in between. People often contend there isn’t really much that can be done, that what we do is futile, and do nothing to serve the country. This is our moment now, a chance to show and prove that there are more to our words and opinions, that we do not just write for the sake of writing, that we do not speak for the sake of speaking. The things we do are not done to seek attention or prove that we are better or smarter. Rather, we do it because we know we have to.

What we are about to embark on might not amount to anything fruitful, but we hope it does. And despite the risks and complications, we will do what we have to do, because it has to be done. It might lead to nothing, but that is a risk we should take, because there is that chance that what is true, right, and just will prevail. That despite the complications and risks, our action will yield something good for the country.

And if it doesn’t, at least we tried, and tried really hard. We cannot just stand by in our comfortable little corner and watch as the chance to do something passes by just because it won’t lead to anything anyway. We take every chance we can get and hope for the best.

It has to be done.
