As outraged as we might be at the sight of injustice, we must remain equally excited by the possibilities for a better world that lie on the other side of it. The enlightened activist is committed because we know that the other world exists & all of us are here to bring it forth.

An enlightened activist therefore also doesn’t feed the system that causes the injustice but focusses its attention on the alternatives.

There's a difference between noting it, and feeding it. There's a difference between transcendence and denial. In the words of James Baldwin, "Not everything faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed unless it is faced."
