If nothing changes, then nothing changes! Sounds simple, but inside that comment is a profound statement. We Americans want something to change, but we do not want to start the change. Let someone else do the changing for us. I think the reason for us not wanting to make changes, is change sometimes hurts. It does not feel good. We wind up losing something that we really do not want to give up. Sometimes change causes us to lose some of our freedoms, such as when we realize that we need to be on a budget. That means that you can't do some of the things that you want to do, and now you are limited on what you can spend. Oh my God we can't have that!
We wake up every morning and we see that same old news just repeated each day. The American society is crying out for change to occur. Is it possible that deep down inside the American society we really don't want change? We elect and re-elect the same or sometimes different people, but they are spitting out the same rhetoric as their predecessors. How can a society change when we keep repeating the same mistakes, we keep hiding the truth, we actually regurgitate the same stuff we want changed! If you don't believe me just listen to the people that are around you, in the stores, at your work, anywhere. You'll hear it and you will be amazed at what you do hear!
If we really want change then it is time to stand up and be men and women who see a change is needed and have the wherewithal to set out on a course that will lead to change. You can't change the world, but you can change your world. Then when your world changes and people see it, then maybe other worlds will change.
