A Progressive is someone who is always searching for a better way. It is a driving force, starting at a very young age. It is part of the being and cannot be diluted no matter what anyone says. It is a compelling belief that through communication and understanding people will begin to comprehend unity feeling less threatened by something that is only different. Then they too become a progressive fighting ignorance and fear, winning through intelligence and sheer will to seek the ultimate truth. Never needing brute force. That force lies within.They push always, never satisfied seeking to expand their mental, emotional and strategic capabilities. Observing, learning, competing with the biggest obstacle they know, themselves. Pushing the envelope beyond what is safe or publicly sane. Always confident always driven knowing it starts with one person knowing themselves intimately accepting the beast within. The battle continues: loving, helping, teaching, understanding but never insecure. The duty burns: connecting, integrating, mediating differences to accomplish good, one person at a time, starting from within.
