As the world revolves on its axis it seems that most of society is concerned about nothing else except themselves with a minority looking pass that and making a small impact by doing something towards making a difference in the world. It’s easy for an individual to think up a dream but the task that will make the greatest impact is never done because no action is made and people end up doing nothing rather than something. We are waiting for change to take place in the world but no one wants to take on the responsibility to start doing something and as we wait nothing is happening. We stay in this isolated state of mind rather than making use of the power of one with an untied front of people standing together and actually doing something.
Eldridge Cleaver makes a clever statement: “You’re either part of the solution or you are part of the problem.” Too many people feel comfortable with being part of the problem and have yet to realise the deep hole society has dug itself into: our environment is deteriorating yet we do nothing about it, we chat on our phones and are slowly loosing our relationships with those around us, we see the elderly while taking public transport yet we don’t get up and offer our seats.
Someone out there has the cure to AIDS but they are not putting that knowledge to practice, someone out there has the answer to resolve the global financial crisis but they are doing nothing about it. We all know our strengths, we see the poverty and problems daily but we do nothing about it and stay in the same place we have always been. We need to change our mind sets, we need to look pass ourselves and do something everyday which will lead to a major impact in the world. What you are tomorrow depends on what you do today.

So true, Tarrin. I totally agree with you. Is it not funny how the people always complaining about these things are the one’s that never does anything? I think we all have to take responsibility into our own hands and not just wait for things to happen and issues to be resolved.
ReplyDeleteWe can all start by voting! I find that the people who are always complaining about politics are the ones that will NEVER stand in a queue to go and vote! Well, then they should just keep quiet and not have an opinion on politics; because they are part of the problem and not the solution. I hope that everyone will go and vote on Wednesday and be part of the solution.
It is so true. People prefer to complain and moan about what is happening around them, but refuse to do anything. I think the reason for this is a lack of confidence. Either in their ability or in themselves.
ReplyDeleteSociety has taught people to become better and better, but hasn't thought about people just being themselves.
