KONY2012 or ME2012 ?

These days there is a lot of discussion, both online and in person, about the KONY2012 campaign. No need to explain or reference: just Google it!

I am totally in support of the principle that it is our collective duty to protect the children who are, or may become victims of this violent warlord.
I hope that the organizers of this campaign will reach the stated goal of bringing this menace under control and to justice.
I am also not sure whether their proposed approach is the best one, as I have read strong arguments pro and con.
I am not in any position to assess the sincerity of their effort, which some have called into question: only God knows that.

Having said that, here is my point:

How about starting a campaign to have each of us look into our own lives, to identify and eliminate those character and behaviour aspects we have in common with Joseph Kony?

I am not saying that any of you reading this note is in a league even close to this degenerate man, but think:

• Do you ever try to lord it over other people?
• Do you ever try to trick or force other people to do your job, or to do things that are mostly to your advantage?
• Do you ever look at other people's body and think of them as objects to be used for your own purposes? (Yes, consuming pornography is part of that!)
• Do you ever try to escape justice knowing full well that you have done something wrong? By justice I do not mean only the civic authorities and their laws, but even person-to-person justice.
• Do you ever do things for your own pleasure, even if it serves no other purpose whatsoever and does not benefit anyone, let alone the common good? (Like watching TV for hours...)

After all, this is what Kony is doing, isn't it? Each of us has very little to contribute to the solution of the Kony problem, although it can be argued that together we can. But each of us can do a great deal to curb those same issues within ourselves.
Therefore the same global logic of effectiveness applies here:

• KONY2012: Each of us can do little, but together we can produce a big improvement in the world.
• ME2012: Each of us can do little (because we do little damage), but together we can produce a big improvement in the world around us.

What do you think?
