A soulless man says there are no souls

"A soulless man says there are no souls;
"A lonely man says there is no love;
"A rich man says there are no cares;
"A foolish man says there are no fools;"
Ironically enough, this is a very popular quote in the Green Zones as a way of warning against the dangers of the self-serving perspective. I think they feel if they pay homage to such a sentiment that somehow they must be living it – and thus absolved of any responsibility. There are parades to Save the Planet and protests to Make Life Good by those who realize the coming Doom of our Ways. But there is no accompanying Call for Change (other than, “Stop the bad”).

And without the Call for Change it’s all just blowing smoke.
