"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke
An act like what happened in Boston yesterday is not just meant to stop
an event. It is also designed to steal our spirits...our belief in
each other and that good is ALWAYS stronger than evil. And I thought to
myself, just a moment ago, I am not going to let that happen.
Then I thought, we should finish the race. For all the people who
couldn't, we should finish the race. Tomorrow, I am going to run a
mile. I hate to run. I'm out of shape and not good at it, but tomorrow
I am going to do it because I just want whoever set off those bombs to
know that they can't stop us from loving and doing the things we love.
There are too many of us and we are more powerful than they will ever
be. So tomorrow, I am going to run like I love it. I am going to run
like someone with the courage, stamina and determination to enter the
Boston Marathon.
If you want to, I invite you to run, walk, or strut
with me. But whatever you do, let's send a message that we are good men
and we will not do nothing.
