Nobody wants to change the world

I'm looking around me and I get sad. Nobody wants to change the world. Everybody wants to be famous, to get rich, to be funny and wild.

Everybody wants to have a beautiful life of his own and that's ok with me. I understand the fact that everybody has his own dreams and goals and we have to struggle to achieve them.

I know we all have obstacles in our way and battles to fight, I know that our personal future is important, I know we all think we're alone in this world. Let me remind you something, we're all living in the same world.

I know I'm right and you agree with me, but if you'll look farther you'll see that we're all the same. We all eat, study, work, sleep, dream, love and play.

We are all special, every one of us, with no exceptions. My big questions is "why aren't we acting like a team ?".

As far as I know, humans are the most intelligent beings on this planet because of their highly evolved brain, right ? Right. Then why are we allowing bad things to happen around us ? Why don't you stand up for truth and justice ? How long do you think your freedom would last if you don't raise your fist in the air and scream "I will not allow this to happen on my watch !".

We live in a world where freedom isn't free, you have to fight for it and not only when your personal freedom is in danger. You know ... we are not going to live forever. Let's try to change some things so we may have a good life and not be disappointed when we are looking in the mirror.

Change the world and don't let others tell you that you can't !

Together we can change the world

You may heard this expression "you can change the world" for so many times that you almost find it funny by now. You can't change the world and that's how things are, right ? WRONG. Even if you feel small and powerless, even if you lost your faith and dreams along the way, you still have something inside you that no one can take.

That thing is your heart. People tend to forget that we are all the same, we have the same needs, the same questions, the same desires, the same regrets. And still, we are acting like we live alone on this tiny blue planet.

When something bad or wrong happens to somebody else (an individual or a group), what are we doing ? Nothing, we just keep walking. Some of us may even say that's how life is. Some feel happy because that bad thing didn't happen to them. But when something bad or wrong is happening to YOU, would you liked to be helped ? Of course you do.

You probably ask yourself by now, how can you, an obscure person can change the world ? You're not famous, you're not rich, you don't even have enough time available to start making a project about something. If you think like that, you are looking at this problem from a wrong angle. You can do a lot of things to stop poverty, discrimination, rapes, animal slaughter etc.

If you're a poet, write a poetry about what you want to change, if you're a painter draw a painting about the things you don't want to see or hear, if you're working in front of a computer, put a wallpaper on your desktop with a big red STOP THIS sign (referring to whatever you want to put an end), wear a t-shirt with a message on it, make a mug with a picture that draws attention, put at the end of your emails a short sentence as a signature, talk wuth your friends about things that shouldn't suppose to happen, etc.

Please help me to change the world ! When our time on this world will end, we'll look back at our past and we'll ask ourselves what have we done all this time. Where have we been ? Why did we allowed that to happened ? But then it will be to late.

"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burke

Why should I donate ?

First of all, the donation button doesn't mean begging. As you may see, my blog is about changing the world. Many bad things are happening out there and only a few people are trying to do something to change them. That small number of humans struggles to put an end to starvation, discrimination, to bring peace and freedom in the places where this things were lost, deserve respect at the highest level.

One of these people was Michael Jackson. Although he is my favorite singer, the most important is what he represented. In a single word, he represented the humanity. He loved people and tried to help through his music and charity. He truly changed the world. He made his part of contribution to society.

I want to raise money to make a special place with his name at the entrance, with his music inside, with his messages in everybody's hearts. We'll never forget about who Michael Jackson was, but we may forget what he represented. Help me to change the world having this great man as an example.

Anyone can make a site or a blog about this, but why don't we try to fight in other areas too ? If God and people like you will help me make this place, I would continue helping others by raising money for food and clothing, even water for some, through all kind of events with Michael Jackson's name in front.

I don't want this money for me, I have what to eat and where to sleep. But I can't afford to create this by myself. I need you to help me. Help me to help others.

You may donate starting from 0.1 $ if you are inclined. It's not impossible to make a dream come true. This dream is our dream, not mine. If you do not wish to make a donation because you don't trust, you don't have faith or you are simply not in the mood to do so, then I will respect your decision. THIS IS NOT BEGGING !
