On Protest

The item below by email from Joel and Michelle Levy

The term “protest” has come to be associated with being “against” something.

However, the root meaning of this word actually carries a positive meaning:

Pro means “for,” “in favor of.” Test means, “to speak,” as in testify

and testimony. So, protest actually means, “to speak for.”

In the truest sense of the term, protesting, is not complaining nor is it

sending out negative messages. “Protest “is a completely positive endeavor.

Here’s what Albert Einstein had to say about raising our voices for positive

change:

“The world is dangerous not because of those who do harm, but because of

those who look at it without doing anything. Nothing that I can do will

change the structure of the universe. But maybe by raising my voice I can

help the greatest of all causes — goodwill among men and peace on earth.”

What is it that you are willing to take a stand and speak out for in your

life and world today
