it does not stop itself.

it does not burn out.

you cannot go along to get along until it's over.

it has to BE stopped.

people have to stop it.

and that takes hard choices and real action.

it takes a willingness to endure pain and to stand firm.

nothing about stopping this is automatic.

we need to do it.

apathy and hope the monster will go away if we pull the blanket back over our heads is why we're in the mess we're already in.

it won't get us out.
