One thing I’ve been realizing lately is that awareness by itself is not enough.
It is not sufficient to just be aware of a problem. If I am aware that I have cancer and yet do nothing to kill and destroy it, the cancer will still kill me. Only when I take action against the cancer does it ever go away.
Raising awareness is good. Knowing your enemy is good. These things will prepare you for the battle.
But there is still a battle.
As it says in a song I like, “How can you expect to win this war if you’re too afraid to fight.” And the fight will be hard, but it is better than not fighting at all.
Be aware. But also take right action.
