"And I'm here to tell you that your heart is not the most important thing - it helps - but your heart is not going to solve these problems. If your heart hasn't found a rhyme with your head, we're not going to get anywhere. It's not charity that fires us at the ONE campaign or at RED - it's justice. That's what inflames us. And justice is a higher, tougher standard. . .In truth, if you want to turn the world right-side up, it's not going to take a minute or an hour or a day - it's going to take your whole life." ~Bono
"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~Anais Nin

Your Whole Life
The other day I posted a link about a Sojourners article that featured a presentation that Bono made at Georgetown University. If you scrolled down to the very bottom, it included the YouTube video of the presentation. I had some time (or made the time!) to watch it over the weekend and would recommend that you do the same. He talks for about an hour (if you skip over the introduction speeches) and it's moving.
