What do you stand for?

Do you stand up for a cause, any cause?

Terrorists do - they want to disintegrate the society. And they die for it.

Maoists do - they want to disintegrate democracy. And they fight for it.

Religious fanatics do - they want to eradicate pluralism. And they preach hatred over and over again and are not afraid to blow themselves up.

Regionalists do - they want to drive away all outsiders. And they break bones of outsiders and glasses of media houses with equal panache.

Communists do - they want to remain powerful by keeping people poor. And they struggle for it continuously until the goal is reached.

What do you stand for? And what do you do about it? Here is a generalism - you (and I) stand for comfort. You study and work to be prosperous. Nothing wrong in that actually. But in a fight between the active seekers and passive observers, who is more like to win regardless of the numbers!
