Yes, many months of inaction on my blog. Well do not blame climate change, appreciating peso, oil at $100 per barrel nor the ZTE controversy.
I was just too occupied steering a ship battered by waves bearing unjust law. "An unjust law is no law at all", said St Augustine. This provides the foundation of civil disobedience movements across the globe. If a particular law is not really a law at all, it is argued, one has a right and even a duty to break it. The late Martin Luther King articulated this view in his Letter from Birmingham Jail: "one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws".
Not writing is my form of civil disobedience. I was utilizing all my energies to focus on "communal action" and divine intervention to seek the truth. And we all saw and heard the truth. Some delivered the truth in a silver platter - a miracle.
Now that I have found some ray of justice, I am back!Labels: civil disobedience, St Augustine
