“Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.” – St. Augustine
Anger need not always be destructive. Anger can be useful if it pushes us to defend what is good and right.
We need not remain as mere observers of all the wrong things in the world. We can be angry about it and we can do something to make a change for the better.
Those who accept the evil around them sooner or later experience a depression in their souls. Depression comes because hope is lost.
We can regain that hope and do something instead. We can find the courage to make a difference, to make things good again.
Many times, it takes but a few men of courage to make a great change, men who are not afraid to stand up for what is right and to fight a good fight while not succumbing to the darkness around them.
And I sought for anyone among them who would repair the wall and stand in the breach before me on behalf of the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. -Ezekiel 22:30, NRSVCE
