Photo of the Millenium

A picture of bravery, a selfless act,  a defiant act. He stood against impossible odds, against a force that could have killed him. He risked his life to stand, to stand against oppression. The tank man, who feared not tanks but what would happen if he didn't stand. He was an example of the true courage of a man fighting for something that he believed in. If we could only have more people with the courage to do actions like this. Oppression would be stamped out. What could stand against millions of people with the courage to stand and to simply say no. No I will not stand for this, no we will not do that, no you will treat them well. All its takes is one to inspire to lead to change. This man was a symbol, a symbol that all good people should seek to emulate in out everyday lives. If this man can stand up to tanks with little more than the clothes on his back and a grocery bag, what is stopping you from standing up for yourself against your problems. It's a simple action to stand, but it is difficult to do. To be willing to risk it all, just for what you believe in is something that not very many people are willing to do, when it's so easy to compromise and keep it all. A quote comes to mind "The whole world will tell you to move, your job is too plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth and tell the whole world no you move." That quote comes from Captain America, and I think it fits this situation perfectly. One man decided that day that he was going to tell the world to move.
