Woman is neither the downfall, nor the weaker vessel. At such risk to her own life and health does she bring forth all the new, that no man may rightly dictate her terms. Until one half of humanity utterly ceases to oppress the other, what have you accomplished? I share your anguish without relief; for I will not ask from you, that of which I am unwilling. Those that say one thing and do another are hypocrites. Better an honest unbeliever than a hypocrite. May they rise above that unworthy illusion of a secondhand pardon gained at another’s expense. Do not pander to tyrants;
nor serve injustice
by your effort or silence. None who seek power over others are wise. No victory is there in ruling over a ruin. Do not sell your honest labor to those whose wealth comes by way of corruption; for in so doing, you will have contributed your own effort and value to reward thieves. Those who betray justice and leave the corrupt to retain their loot are complicit. I do not reckon a man’s attempt to murder his trusting, bound and helpless child as righteousness. I am not your master, for you are not slaves. By derision and violence, the faithful seek to force their rampant will upon the knowing. Until such wrongs of the past are corrected and not memorialized, how shall your future improve?
