This post comes off just as I finish watching the documentary on Aaron Swartz. I feel this uneasiness inside me and have to let it out.
Under this supreme motivation I dedicate the rest of my life towards making the world a better place. Towards working on things that have an impact for betterment. Towards standing up against the injustice, no matter what the cost. Towards taking actions, not just sitting there and watching a handful of people bear the burn.
I feel this urge to make things happen, to empower the freedom that we have but are not using under the fear of the government. I feel that knowledge is supreme and should be a fundamental right. It should be open sourced for everyone.
I wish we could change the past. But we can not. But we can change the future and we must do so. We must do so for ourselves. It starts with us. Act! Act over what you think is right and must be done. Its for us to build the future, not the government. And if you think otherwise, the government will just keep on bluffing us, as they always have.
To you and to future me I would like to say — Hey beware! The government and the society will be there against you when you are trying to change the system, and they surely will try to pull you down — perhaps criminally prosecute you. But dare you bow down under any condition. You be strong for you have come so far and worked earnestly. You have lived a life of satisfaction because you work on what you believe in. You are able to face yourself in the mirror everyday because you live by what you think, and if now you bow down, you won’t remain who you are. It will be living death. So gear up. Be a rebel. Stand for what you believe in. Work on what you think is right. And support those who are like you, they need your help, as do you.

This might be an outburst, but its ernest, and towards good I commit myself. I hope you’ll do the same.
