I want to do more, and believe I can. Without trying to sound pompous, I'm skilled at writing, and can work up both individuals and a crowd well. My fear and my desire to protect my family prevent me, and I worry both that I help and harm both sides by doing so.
I also have a crippling fear of death, but that's aside for the moment.
In short, I feel I'm someone who could rally others and help cement deeper unity in a increasingly fractured and lost section of people who I feel kinship with. However I wait for someone else to rise to rally behind, lying to myself that the day will come, and that someone will say exactly what I feel the searing need to, knowing it will never come. I watch, and despair, and my despair feeds my inaction.
I'm not a cancer. Cancer is an active illness.
