Three seconds

What are we investing all this time in? All these hours, all this discussion, the money, the colors of the T-shirt, the design, the minutes and hours of conversation at the table in August.

What do we hope to get out of it? Do we expect immediate change? A drastic moral flip? Do we want the alcohol chugging college kids to immediately become saints and join a nunnery?

Well... It would be nice. To see immediate and severe change, drastically affecting the outcome of the generations.

But this is not what we hope for.

We hope we will buy you three seconds. Three seconds to think. To pause. To breathe.

Three seconds to consider.

Consider the possibilities.
Consider the consequences.
Consider the lives that might be affected by a singular choice.

So, all this time. All this discussion. All this investment. If it buys three seconds, in just one life, it will be worth it.
