069: Don’t be a Passive Aggressive Activist in a Lawn Chair (Momentary Reflections)
There’s a picture floating around the Internet of a gentleman sitting in a lawn chair.
This man, in his lawn chair, is holding up two signs. Each says, “23 American Veterans commit suicide every day. No One Cares. 1 lion gets killed and the country is in an uproar.”
Saying “no one cares” about any veterans issues – or any issues for that matter – is absurd and completely false. People use this erroneous exaggeration to emphasize their point, but it’s insulting.
“No one cares” is a slap in the face to the millions of people putting forth whatever effort they can to provide veterans with the care they need.
I care. I care a lot about the veterans that are killing themselves each day. I care a lot about the community and how torn down we’ve been with labels of PTSD and suicide. I care deeply that news covers our issues because the outrage and patriot complex persuades people to share and click. I care so passionately about finding a solution to the problem (much more than our subject in his lawn chair).
