It's Time to Grow Up

The life we lead, the life we perceive...

Never, in my life, have I seen the power of protest as it is going on today. The case of the fighting citizens. their actions can be choking, their pride intimidating, and their views questionable.

What are the underlying reasons for these protests? I ask, do you disagree with the law or the leadership? This causes a confusion. On one hand, we have over-protection on the other hand we have neglect. 

The first perception where others disagree in crowds on top of crowds over the laws and rules that govern said society, is considered a form of rebellion. Now bear with me, the second is to revolt against leadership. So, why am I scared?

Because, I have only lived through protests that are definitely one or the other. But, what is happening now is the complex grip that holds people in a brace of appendages, locked together as if wrestling one another, where one is more inclined to win over the other, but it takes both to gridlock before both begin their battle planning and thinking strategies. Yes, I say, what is happening now, is combining both rebellion and revolt, making foggy and shifty boundaries where the stand and reasoning is unpredictable. 

So, I ask, do we have rebellion? or do we have revolt? or is it a bit more complicated than that? Perhaps, it is unavoidable, where one will fuel the other and vice versa. Perhaps there is sabotage, creating a focus that undermines the true reason for why there are protests to begin with. Do I disagree with the laws? or Do I disagree with the leaders? The first is rebellion and the second is revolt. Yet, both are a cry for change.
