There is an aspect to political activism that involves an incredible sense of urgency, people thinking, 'I absolutely know what is right,' and spirituality advocates that people step back, reflect, and approach the world with a sense of mystery--that maybe they don't know exactly what is right. This is a good quality to bring into activism, to look at some of the deeper issues that way.
