While ideally I would like to think that a "community" of thinkers and doers would be able to unify and change...I get more pessimistic as I age about the capacity of humans to evolve and change. It seems a majority stay in whatever mind set or attitude they grew up in with little impetus to grow. That leaves it up to us individually to lead and live by example, not necessarily waiting for the community's approval or concurrence. This is a painful, hard thing to do if you are not a strong individual.<br /><br />At least I know you and I can start thing rolling:).The Global Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799206875756322855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868637208708070057.post-41860409155034990202011-03-29T11:35:11.832-04:002011-03-29T11:35:11.832-04:00I agree with your article, we all have to rethink ...I agree with your article, we all have to rethink our perspective and then act on our beliefs. You point out that we then need to take action on our beliefs to hopefully change our world for the better. You have given some suggestions on how we can start to do that. To modify what you have suggested I propose that we create social change through simple living. Any social movement of people helps to bring about desired changes in our society. <br />I hope that you started the ball rolling by writing this article and it will inspire all that read it to change and to rethink our perspective on life, community and relationships. I feel that your goal is to foster a community which focuses on positive change and how we can help others. <br />The problem that we encounter in fostering change through what are consider “normal channels” are connected to the economy and government, which in many ways creates a disconnect between individuals. The first premise we all need to understand is that we are all connected and vehicles that are not altruistic in nature tend to cause disharmony and eventually a disconnect from the original intent. <br />We all need to take time to, as you propose, to “rethink our thinking” and to examine situations from a holistic perspective. Many of us are micro-thinkers and we need to turn in to macro-thinkers in order rethink our perspectives and consider an issue’s effect on a broader scale. We all live within a community, be it work, our job, the people whom we are associated. How we “rethink our thinking” will have an impact not only within our circle of influence, but also on society. <br />Anyone who has taken time to read your article and possibly read my post has access to resources that can open each of us up to rethinking our thinking. The questions I would pose are: What is each of us going to do with that opportunity? How are we going to improve society by rethinking our thinking?Dave McDonaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818022085165471170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868637208708070057.post-13129229502268699712011-03-29T11:08:51.672-04:002011-03-29T11:08:51.672-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dave McDonaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818022085165471170noreply@blogger.com
