SOCIAL CHANGE.




I have a hard time believing in social change. There's uprising and people getting together every day around the world, talking about these social issues, reminding everyone that the third world is still poor, and that women are still being raped, and that people are still being murdered senselessly by the police. But nothing is being done about it. And that's the problem I have, it's just issues thrown up in the air and people are waiting for an answer to be given, but most queries are easily solved.

Now I'm not talking about everyone fighting for change. For example, Vegans have made very clear that if you stop eating animals, less will be harmed, your body will be healthier - therefore you'll live longer and you won't harm the planet as badly. Pretty straight forward right? And they're constantly campaigning - even in small ways - for change. As far as I'm concerned that's their job done. They're highlighting an issue, and solving it. And it's easily done in other areas.

But people are still just "talking". I hate myself a little bit for even posting this, because I have ideas but I'm not acting on them. I still think I'm not enough by myself to implement social change, but I need to remind myself I have a voice and my voice matters. I guess I wrote this to remind you that you do too.
