Passion without Foundation

Something I have noticed is the rising trend in amazingly passionate individuals, striving for a cause, a change, a revolution. Passionate individuals without a clue. Those people standing on the corner crying for reform with no knowledge of the current system except that they don't like it. No way of explaining their ideas without an emotionally charged vocabulary that sets themselves up to be taken down by the opposing side and dismissed as fanatics.

I don't disagree with them necessarily. However, unbridled enthusiasm must flow from a solid foundation in order to actually make a difference. The wind itself can roar all it wants but with nothing solid around would it matter? Good ideas presented to skeptics with nothing but passion to guide, only bring laughter and the idea's shot down and the skeptic won't look twice again. So put on some armor before charging to battle and make sure that the cavalry's there. Only then will the ripples turn into waves that appease a world thirsting for change.
