Independence or Death

“The revolted say: ‘It’s up to me!’. The complacent say: ‘I hope God doesn’t forget me!’”

There is a cry, yet to be heard, within every truly revolted person! “What do you mean? Are there counterfeits?”. Yes, those who talk much but do little … those who instigate others, but are the last ones to take the first step. Those who demonstrate displeasure or anger, but when the time comes to act, they cower behind endless excuses.

Yes, there is a ‘fake revolt’ that many show when they don’t have the courage to act. These are the ones who ‘always hope in God’, but do nothing to help themselves. Don’t misunderstand me, there’s a big difference between having an Intelligent Faith in God and just believing in His existence and ‘waiting upon Him’ whenever things go wrong …

That’s exactly what those who’re truly revolted don’t do, because the first person to whom they turn to is themselves! Yes, because they know that the answer they seek has to come from their own interior. They know that God values bravery and courage. It’s as the saying goes, “God helps those who help themselves”
