Hey everyone!
I'm a huge animal lover so today I was out with my passive activism: I wore a Vegan t shirt and had a big NO FUR button above my heart and to see people reading it or being aware it was thrilling.
Do you guys have a cause? What am I asking, of course we all have, what's yours but why did it bothered you so you started to act upon it?*

*When I say bothered is that I saw people that lost beloved to cancer and built a fundation or an adopted orphan open an orphanage, or well, me, it bothered me so I started rescuing animals but also love elderly and voluntered in elderly homes.

Yes,I have a cause for which I would do anything that I would be able to do.I go to the railway station to buy any new magazines from the railway bookstall.There I see a considerable number of children who are born of beggars and some homeless rickshaw pullers.They beg from passengers and people who come to receive or see off their relatives and guests.These children have no future.May be some of them are pickpockets.I want to educate them.I have it the aim of my life to contribute myself to make arrangements for their proper education.

I donate money to charities that help people with cancer or are trying to find an answer through research. This is because I lost my dad to cancer when I was 15 and don't want anyone else to suffer this kind of loss.I have raised a bit of money for a local hospital to build a new cancer centre.It was the hospital my Dad had chemotherapy at and they want to give people having chemotherapy more facilities as the ward where the chemotherapy takes place at the moment is very limited in its space.Though they have just got enough money together to start building work.

Well Done!
Wishing you all the best in your noble endeavours.
My cause is your cause, as you know already. And yes, I should get out there with the vegan T-shirts more too! I hope many people are influenced by your activism. More power to you!

My cause: revolutionary education.
No, not 'education in America's Revolutionary War'; more like 'a truer understanding of what "education" really is,' an understanding helped by Napoleon Hill's classic book Think & Grow Rich---an understanding drawn from the root-meaning of the word ... 'manifesting from within.'
In 'school' (public-, private-, home-, whatever), you are "fed" informations (history, science-findings, computation-methods, etc.) and are trained to mix the informations and manifest things (reports, performances) made of them.
It irritates me that people call 'going to school' "education" ... everytime I see some school's commercial saying people need to go and "get an education," I want to scream 'NO! People HAVE all the education they need; what they need from you is "something to DO with it"!'
(I know it's just 'semantics'--doesn't matter if you plant the seed before or after you harvest the fruit ... not anymore, anyway --but it's good to yell how right you are when someone else is wrong ... sometimes )
