Mahatma Ghandi had it right when he said: 'Be the change you want to see in the world.' I may be a modern hippy and 'you may say I'm a dreamer' (but I think we've already established that - though not quite in the Lennon sense), but do we do nothing and not impact anything or at least be able to say that change has happened in me - in one person? Who knows at sometime in our lives we may even effect another person!!!Actually I think we do effect things already either positively or negatively. The little things with the people we live or work with, the lovely helpful person at the tesco check-out, or the little old lady you don't know but wave to every day. Then there's the big stuff. Giving and giving big. Collectively joining forces with all the other millions of people (that feel they don't really make a difference either) and buying good energy. Getting to a place of influence at work...
Thing is with me, is that I can think all this stuff, encourage the world to do it, complain about the problems and the exploitation but never establish it in my own life. Its good to think BIG but sometimes I need to think small as well.
