Stasis
Stasis—The state of equilibrium or inactivity caused by opposing equal forces.
Who controls time as the pendulum swings—those who want the arc to move forward or those who want to pull it back.
"Stasis is itself criminal for those with the means to move, and the means to weave communion between people."— Dave Eggers, You Shall Know Our Velocity, 2009
"They
shouldn't be offering prayers and words because those mean nothing. We need
action.”
