There are two ways of showing dedication to a good cause: temperament and wisdom.
Re-listening song Hunger by Shirley Manson and Serj Tankian that they made for Amnesty international got me thinking; what could possibly bring such two absolutely different people together?
Shirley, true humanist person, though the hard way she keeps her shit together and even reaches out to help others.
And on the other hand Serj, wild Armenian ass (and that’s animal comparison, not physical evaluation), self-declared one eyed in the land of the blind, with his high-pitched „lalala“ fighting against ignorance, with ideas even members of NWOO wouldn’t have to be ashamed of.
And yet, despite the ridiculous difference in their opinions, they unite to serve the same cause – humillity. Shirley knows her tears are just drops in the sea, Serj expects his spark to set the whole forest afire, but whatever they think; they do just fine.
Let's not get idealistic though; the problem of temperament is doing things without thinking. And the problem of wisdom is thinking about things without doing things.
