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.
