In a non-action world, it seems like a good way to escape the past injustices of American society. Like our family, however, our nation and our feelings about it influence who we are and how we view the world. I've learned, as I did growing up, circling the block and considering whether or not to make that deterministic turn northward to Canada, that although I may not agree with what decisions my family makes, I still accept them and I still accept myself as part of that family. It's the same with America. While I may disagree with the political ideologies that have motivated the nation, I still accept them as part of my historical heritage.
Anger is a sometimes necessary characteristic of inspiring change.
It's fine to be angry, it's all right to disagree, but it's also important to recognize, accept, and work toward change, no matter how frustrating or impossible carrying out hopes for change may seem to be.
