For many, change means changing individuals and when individuals are changed, it will eventually tantamount to a societal change if you add up all the small changes together. This is called the heart revolution–changed individuals would mean changed structures. For others, the target of change are social structures that eventually impinge upon individuals so the formula goes backward–change structures and individuals will be changed. History has proven that both are inadequate. Stalin changed social structures and yet the individuals remained greedy. Religion changed hearts but the evil structures were not changed. For total transformation to be achieved, there should be a change in both individuals and structures. If we all support Obama for a change then we should also change the military industrial complex of corporate America that thrives on wars in order to make profit. If we all support sweeping economic changes we should also change our lifestyles by not spending more than we earn, by not consuming more than we produce, by not importing more than we export, by living a simple and contended life which is also environmentally safe. As Obama said, “we are all in this together….” Everyone has got to give his share of change….As the saying goes, “Be the change you want the world to be!”
