• Do I know what I am doing as I protest and do I know why I am doing it?
• Will I be a conduit of peace, kindness, honesty, humility, mercy, and justice?
• Will I be demanding a level of justice that is incongruent with the measure I use with those who in my own immediate family and with my neighbors?
• Am I aware that rallying for justice, if I myself, treat others with unfairness and disrespect, makes a mockery of my efforts and my efforts will be wasted?
• Am I being authentic, knowing that I am not protesting to maintain ill-gained wealth or ill-gained privilege but rather seeking justice and peace for all, despite our many differences?
• Am I willing to stay at home rather than take to the streets if I am angry, bitter, or wanting to settle a score or seek revenge?
• Am I will be stay at home and avoid protesting if I want to join a protest to trivialize the efforts of others.
• Am I willing to stay home if I seek to divide rather than to unite?
