||| FROM DAVID KOBRIN |||


To be “woke” is to be awake.
To be awake means it’s possible to have conscious thought, including questioning,
listening, discussing, and evaluating.
To be awake gives you opportunities to observe what is happening around you.
The opposite of “woke,” or awake, is sleep.
Sleep offers a universe of dreams — dreams and fantasies, even nightmares.
It is a world of emotions –powerful emotions, like fear and vengeance, conquest
and dominance, and revenge.
In dream land, the realities of the daily world we live in are suspended.
The opposite of “woke” is to live as if in a dream. Day after day without
awareness of whom we all are.
To oppose something that you are unable to see, or understand, is to oppose a
thing without knowing what it is.
