Changing society as a whole is practically impossible.
Changing it a person at a time is a more realistic situation. Having been
exposed to MOQ, we should concentrate on changing ourselves and those around
us. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." Or something close
to that! ;-) Cast your pebble in the pond and let the ripples take care of
themseleves.
i agree wholeheartedly with that. one of my favorite paragraphs of zamm is
as follows:
I think that if we are going to reform the world, and make it a better place
to live in, the way to do it is not with talk about relationships of a
political nature, which are inevitably dualistic, full of subjects and
objects and their relationship to one another; or with programs full of
things for other people to do. I think that kind of approach starts it at
the end and presumes the end is the beginning. Programs of a political
nature are important end products of social quality that can be effective
only if the underlying structure of social values is right. The social
values are right only if the individual values are right. The place to
improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then
work outward from there. Other people can talk about how to expand the
destiny of mankind. I just want to talk about how to fix a motorcycle. I
think what I have to say has more lasting value.
