yeah. well you gotta start somewhere, dont you?
i really dont know that its that impossible. people look after their own self interest at a basic level often and act out of self interest. the worst of us and even the best of us do this.
now if people became convinced that positive change was in their best self interest - they would DEMAND it. and it would HAPPEN.
i think positive change IS in everyone's self interest; but i just dont think people realise this or WHY this is. i think that's a barrier to be overcome; but it can be done.
again, im an optimist

Yeah, no debate there. i never said there werent.
but what do you choose to do about it?
you can do nothing, or you can try to do something. thats the choice everyone exercises, whether they realise it or not. im not even saying that you'll succeed - cuz if enough people dont change, it wont succeed - but im saying people should try. because the CHANCE exists, that if enough people DO try, change will occur. and i think that chance is worth fighting for. whats the alternative?

oh btw, the anastasia series of 'new age' type books i found really interesting. she says similar things about if she visualises something hapening it will happen. becuz of her really i now have a vegetable garden and a different outlook on plants and animals and our relationship with them- especially plants. i now go around watering and freaking out about my plants too...although not as much as i should really. they're worth the read i think, if only out of interest's sake.
available from amazon.com probly.
its funny but as i read her book its like i can FEEL the enormous power of her words. Its like there's magic in it or something. i always end up very emotional after reading bits of it.
