Change can only ever begin with me. I can't wait for governments or legislation to effect a difference that will only ever be effective if I make the decision and own it by acting on it. In that regard, politics can only ever achieve so much. Well, it sounds good when I say it anyway. :P Wilma touched on it. Change can only ever begin with me.

Until the governing of a country can be done in collaboration with the people it governs, we will never have a great governing system. People need to help people, I need to help my neighbor with a young baby, I can give hungry people shelter and food, no government ruling or system can ever really do that for us or sort out our inhumane behavior towards one and other. It all starts with me and then the politicians can stick to a job they can do, whatever that is when we all learn to govern ourselves and our immediate neighbors. I think it is that simple and yet so complicated. Politicians in this climate have no chance at all to bring about changes that make the world a better place, it is NOT their job, it is mine. xox Wilma Change begins always with myself.

They are easier for people to process, and they allow us the time to reflect on more manageable "units" of change, as well as to undertake them. Oh, what a mouthful of truth you said here: <b> <i>A choice for one is a pipe dream for another.</i></b> Some of us are firm believers in incremental changes. They are easier for people to process, and they allow us the time to reflect on more manageable “units” of change, as well as to undertake them.

Oh, what a mouthful of truth you said here:

A choice for one is a pipe dream for another.

Can't read it enough. I often get caught in thinking and fail to act, especially on the big things. It's better to try, better to move forward even if you have to rectify. I adore this.

I love this post and often feel so much the same (also felt kindred reading your "about me" section). Why not try? I whole heartedly agree. We are small in this big world, but what else can we do but try to change what we are passionate about? If we can positively influence one person, it's good right? blessings to you on your journey and THANK you SO much for your kind words on my blog. Since my blog is so tiny and I have very few visitors with even fewer commenters, my ego sometimes butts in and tells me it must mean my writing sucks, so to see your compliment on my writing really means a lot to me.

I feel like you're talking right to me, from your heart, every time you write. You poetry reminds me of song lyrics (funny that your friend made your last one into a jam). I think you've got to keep envisioning, keep trying, keep asking questions -- even if you feel powerless. It sounds like it's in your nature to keep trying anyway so likely you have no choice. If none of us tried, we'd make no changes. Small ones mean something. Love your style Belinda. I feel like you’re talking right to me, from your heart, every time you write.
