My blog inspiration psychologist, Maslow, characterized
“being concerned for the welfare of humanity and having democratic
attitudes” as traits of a self-actualized person or a person who has reached their personal best. I strive to reach my personal best through trying new things. Taking part in
a march or a protest could be in line with this and in line
with American expression.
Having a right to
dissent, differ, question, and discuss is what I love about my America.
Therefore, even though marching is outside of my comfort zone and my reasons
for going may have differed from the “platform,” I decided to take part
in this important means of American expression.
