A few months ago, tens of thousands of protestors stormed into the Iranian streets, fully aware of the consequences. Thirty thousand human beings were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to restore peace. And they were shot point blank.

If you don’t know what you are willing to die for, you have no idea what you are living for. How many of us have a cause, any cause, that we are willing to ourselves for? We demand that the people of Iran ‘go out’, but we are completely understating their sacrifice. They stand as a model for humanity about what life is, snapping us out of our social media-centered world and making us think about what we are using our lives for.

And then, on the other side, there are the unemployed, unmarried men that follow the likes of Nick Fuentes, claiming that the system cheated them and spewing theory after theory about how the jews are the cause of all their problems. They can’t afford to buy at the grocery? Well of course they are not at fault, since it must be a global plot of ‘them’ to force America into war, steal their money or whatever. Maybe getting a job would help more?

So we see two types of people – the ones that are willing to give even their lives to correct the ills of society and the ones addicted to screens that can’t stop blaming society for all of his problems.

Which one would you choose? Are you willing to pay more for gas so the world becomes a better place?
