Life is a chain of changes

Dear reader

Today I woke up happy. Despite the gray sky littered with pollution that defines Shanghai, nothing can knock me off my cloud. You might ask why this is so and the answer is simple. It’s because of a change. Change, that thing that so many humans look at with scorn and don’t dare do themselves.

“The last 33 years I’ve looked at myself in the mirror every morning and asked myself, ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I do what I’m going to do today?’ And if the answer is no for too many straight days, I know I need to change something.”

 No one needs to tell us that this man was right, we all know it. And if we all know it, why don’t we follow through on it? Sometimes society makes us focus too much on the negative consequences of change which often outweigh the positive. For centuries, change took an eternity and those at the top used it as a method to control the masses. Fear drives the status quo.

In the 21st Century, things are different, the human race has stagnated and needs CHANGE. Today we know what is right and which is the path to follow. The Greeks knew it but we didn’t listen to them. The leopard can’t change its spots and here we are again. Better prepared, with more tools, linked like never before thanks to social media and technology.

Now we’re at a turning point in our history, perhaps the most important one yet. Much more important than the industrial revolution which was the antecedent for the inevitable change which faces us now. It’s black or white, the advancement of humanity or a giant step backward. I therefore invite everyone to support this change for a better world, a world where the rich help the poor, where the poor enrich the rich, where people are not judged by skin color, where everyone eats, where everyone feels like they belong, where there are no more wars, where the common good takes precedence over individual gain, where your freedom ends where another person’s begins, and where love abounds and reaches all corners of the earth

As you can see, there are no negative consequences that can outweigh those described here. How do you feel about change now?

If you’re still against it, try moving to Mars. If you’re in favor of it, don’t wait for tomorrow, start the change TODAY! 

P.S. For those who think I’m writing this under the influence, you can change your thought and reread this post.
