Here's a Thought
From management guru Tom Peters blog. This is from his series 100 Ways to Succeed #169:
Only You "Own" Your Attitude!
Does life suck sometimes?
Absolutely.
Nonetheless you and only you own your attitude. "Realistically," things may stink to high heaven. Still, the day is yours to Embrace with Vigor and Good Cheer—or not.
Your call.
100%.
Period.

While I believe there is a lot of wisdom in this perspective, I also have seen it used against those who speak out against the context within which attitude arises. But, this is not a merely personal perspective as Peters and other MANAGEMENT gurus suggest.Yes, we are responsible for our attitudes, and we bear a responsibility for the realities we exist in which extends, therefore, beyond the personal and into the public/political. It is there, beyond the limited self, where have to stand in solidarity with others.
