I think there needs to be a balance between debate and doing. By only taking action, one can easily lose oneself in the ideology and forget why the work was done in the first place. With debate and discussion you (hopefully) get new input, ideas and opinions. Because the hardest part about humanism is that every single human being can't be pleased at the same time. With the debate you can at least measure where you stand in relation to others.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
