One way or the other, we all play according to the rules consciously or subconsciously. <br /><br />But sometimes, even when people want to make a difference, they don't know how to go about affecting change. And also, they count the cost and decide it's not worth it.<br /><br />Great - best wishes with your 'out of normal December'.

Even the less influential are not going to do anything more than groan, except when dire circumstances force them to take action to change the status quo. It is easier to stick with things the way they are than to try and bring about the smallest change. The lesson I am picking up is that I need to adopt some personal changes this Christmas that will make me really uncomfortable! Uncomfortable being interpreted as positive personal changes in my daily/weekly resume that to me are mind blowing. So I invite anyone who wishes to partner with me in doing this and say "Welcome to a really out of normal December!"DLawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865824470712190718.post-21504058029954713792012-11-27T06:38:51.370-08:002012-11-27T06:38:51.370-08:00Dlaw!!

Honestly, I don't think people on the other side could care less about what's happening on the less rosy side. <br /><br />I love your suggestion - it's absolutely great. I'll start something off soonest.<br /><br />Many thanks.Oluchi Ugwuhttp://fresherangle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865824470712190718.post-36431492205828122662012-11-27T06:33:29.263-08:002012-11-27T06:33:29.263-08:00Welcome back Fresh Angle, missed your inspiring co...Welcome back Fresh Angle, missed your inspiring comments a lot. On the question of social and economic inequality, your statement "The system supports the status quo" hits the nail on the head. And indeed such inequalities are not limited to certain geographic regions or political systems.<br />On thee other hand it is possible that by just letting people on the other side have a glimpse of the reality on this side, action can be stirred up that will institute changes that support equal distribution of wealth/resources on a continual basis.<br /><br />As the year 2012 runs to a close, I am suggesting to all that come into contact with this website to send in a picture, short article, or recording about a reality that you will like the world to know about, but which they can easily miss. I'll set the ball rolling on this site next week with the write-up "Did you know that...?" It contrasts the life of an employee in an oil firm and a self employed carpenter. See you then.DLawnoreply@blogger.com
