Occupy (fill in the blank)

It seems these days there are a lot of unhappy people. The first we became aware of recent "uprisings" was in Tunisia back in January. Those uprisings have since spread through the Arab nations, parts of Europe, and now into the US. It would seem to me people feel as though they are being unfairly treated or mistakenly represented by those they've entrusted in running the most basic needs of their lives. Truth is that throughout the history of humankind there have always been uprisings. One of the more well known stories is that of the Hebrew people held captive and oppressed by the Egyptians in the days of Moses. OK, I said it; oppressed. People today are feeling oppressed. They don't feel important, they don't feel like they have self-worth, they don't feel like a welcomed member of the society at large. The fight the Hebrew people fought with Moses was not one of riches, neither is the one people are fighting today. The fight, then and now, is about fairness. Please re-read that - fairness...not equality. Yes, it seems these days there are a lot of unhappy people. To them I say look for the Moses within, stand up for what you know in your heart is the right thing, and do it with goodness of heart and the right intentions.
