irrationally optimistic and motivated response blog

With all the anger I have I could topple a corporation on my own. With our power, we could make it so that no one on this Earth ever buys a certain product, watches a certain movie, listens to a certain song, or follows a certain way of life ever again. The power of persuasion is far too often something used against large amounts of people by smaller groups of people. It should be used to end ignorance. It should be used to move everything in the right direction. For now, one person raising awareness of Nike’s inhumane practices to millions of people is excellent, but more should know. The plea to people with power is one option, but the formation of power to cause something to happen is something else entirely. Marketing is not solely for selling products, motivation is the key to really making a difference. Believing in something is hard because trolls come and kick sand in your eyes for representing an idea, but we all need to know that what is worthwhile is not easy. Impractical will always be the skeptical disregard for claims like these, but impossible has been and will be too and look how many times those claims have been wrong.
