Keep fighting for those who can’t

I was reading Feb 07 issue of Satya magazine today and "In Memoriam" article about Virgil Butler really inspired me, especially these words he quoted in his blog:

"Keep fighting for those who can’t and don’t ever—ever—give up!

Might does not make right.

Love and light do.

One tiny candle conquers a whole LOT of darkness...

Keep on lighting them, folks.

I will, too."

Sometime I wonder if my tiny efforts are worth anything in this universe, but his words give me another reason to keep on speaking out and reason to try to become an example to others as Gandhi said: "We must become a change we wish to see in the world."

Virgil worked for years on the kill floor of a Tyson slaughterhouse in Arkansas, but had a profound change of heart, and subsequently dedicated his life to educating others about the horrors of factory farming.
