Reading (2)

I really like Vaclav Havel. The way he writes and his position on the government. In many of his writings, he portrays his dislike for the communist government in a peaceful manner. He has a Ghandi-like approach that is neither easy to emulate or follow. Mr. Havel is courageous standing up to the communist regime. It’s easy to say that words are less powerful than an act. Yet, Havel’s words are so powerful and influential that it’s no wonder he had many followers. I mentioned this in a previous blog about the writers today, and if we any revolutionary writers existed today. I love Ayn Rand, and regard her as one of my favorite writers. However, I can’t say that Ayn Rand is a writer of our time. Rather, she is an earlier writer and not one of today. With the recent gay marriage debacle about Miss California, I can’t help but to see Perez Hilton as an avid advocate. Though his credibility isn’t so solid, I still think that his blog brings new light and method of advocacy to a new level. And I find that to be a positive action towards progress. Progress is never easy and fast. And reading Havel’s writings, it makes me wonder the kind of patience it takes to see change.
