As I punch out this post, I am watching on TV the triumph of the people of Egypt as their siege against her own government bore fruit: a change of her leaders.
I am almost thrilled with a feeling akin to awe at the triumph of the resilient human spirit. It is unimaginable what we can achieve when we set our actions from a dogged determination. The past 18 days of peaceful protests by Egyptians are a true testament of this truth.
Only yesterday, a defiant Egyptian government practically vowed to continue its stay in power; another testament to the truth that it’s darkest just before dawn. Courage in the face of adversity will always be rewarded.We have been reminded to possess our own convictions and to air it with clarity.
I think this is one of those moments that will be etched into history. I am glad I witnessed it.
Congrats to the Egyptian people and bravo to the doggedness of the human will. Evil only thrives when good people stay silent.
