Optimistic Closure - History Chooses You

​

​

​

​

It is strange but familiar to hear people who are now well-known activists and respected workers for noble causes describe themselves as “accidental activists.”

​

They tell how a compulsion entered them, a clarity that they had to do this work. They say: “I couldn’t not do it” or “If I didn’t do something, I felt I would go crazy” or “Before I even realized what I was doing, I was doing it.”

​

In every case, they saw an injustice or tragedy or possibility when others weren’t aware of a thing. They heard a thundering call that nobody else noticed.

​

Why this happens is a puzzlement, but it seems that issues choose us. They summon us to pay attention while others stay oblivious. They prompt us to act while others stay asleep. They offer us dreams of bold new futures that others will never see.

​

We are both blessed and cursed when history chooses us.

​

But once chosen, we can’t not do it.
