Some of the most famous lines in poetry:

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Dylan Thomas

Fight on to the end.

Read the full poem.

Dylan’s father was going blind when DT wrote this poem. Some suggest that dying of the light is a reference to darkness and being blind.

For me it’s always urged not to capitulate in the face of evil and wrongdoing.

If you see something wrong, take ethical action. Do something. Do not ignore it.

In the context of social media I often get the comment … “Why are you so negative?”

Typically from friends who don’t like me challenging some statement they’ve made that I consider wrong. (I’ll unfriend if you insist the world is only 5000 years old, by the way. 😀 )
