    @Sultan0960 Struggle requires a division of labor like any other challenging tasks. All hands, hearts and minds are needed on deck.
    There are those who march and are on the front lines (the activists) but just like in any war, there must also be those map the strategy, write the plan or maintain the culture while the others are at war.
    None is more important than the other, but an integral part of an undivided whole. There is room for everyone.
