Moral Vulnerability

There are three parts of being an effective activist:

(1) To protect and serve the vulnerable.

(2) To wake people up to the plight of the marginalized.

And (3) to practice individual witness to those who stand against progress as a bridge towards mutual understanding, reconciliation, and restoring justice. This explains is what that third part is all about. The lessons of history show that you cannot be an effective activist if you are not practicing moral vulnerability – ready to forgive, ready to be the first to sacrifice, ready to make peace without victory.

It’s a bitter pill, but if you are serious about transforming the world, it must be your life’s work.
