One Man's Crusade
Something inside me has started ticking, set off in motion by a series of events that will cumulated in a decoration of recognition. The cogs and wheels that have been set off into momentum are edging me forward in a solo campaign for equality amongst the contenders.
In an award that seeks to distinguish those outstanding in their altruistic contributions towards our society, I cannot stand by and abide potential nominees who wield their involvements in projects in which they received monetary profits, using them as declarations of their participation against those others who have done so out of selfless motivations.
As one of the many who have given truely out of the heart without any expectations of profit or material gain, if such a nominee does indeed triumph using such means, it would no doubt be a slap in all our faces, given the amount of dedication which we have pumped and given to our society, without any glimmer of desire for recognition or return.
Wierd that I would feel so strongly about such a quest, in that even if I succeed, the receipant of the award would most probably not be myself, but another. Perhaps it is due to the amount of injustice which I have bourne witness to over the years. Perhaps it the time when my heart has decided to speak out aloud and to try and make a positive change for others around me.
Nevertheless, whatever it is, this is one issue which I feel strongly about. Despite my idealism, in a world where some get their cake and eat it, where many have proclaimed it as unfair, I will try, with every fiber of my being, to create a level playing field, where fairness and equality will be a reality for all players, for once.
