We all have something to say about the news coming out of Egypt. Yesterday I wondered if the storms moving across America could remind Americans of the paralysis there.
For so many days masses of Egyptians have stood and spoken, willing to disrupt their lives for fundamental change in their homeland.
I think of Ann San Suu Kyi (Burmese opposition politician and a former General Secretary of the National league for Democracy) and her statement that, "To live the full life one must have the courage to bear the responsibility of the needs of others . . . one must want this responsibility."
Since Mubarak has been irresponsible, the people show their courage in correcting him. They are taking responsibility for their future, not for their sakes only, but for the generations to follow. How beautiful, daring and courageous!
