The manifest destiny of change (#3756)

     Nothing will stop change, nothing! The question is not how to stop change but instead in which way we will try to make change work out to our betterment. What we are finding out first though is not how to make change our ally but how to tamp down the intervening struggle to stop change. It is as if the idea that change is inevitable is lost on too many. They don't see the positives from change, they only see their own false calculus as to how change will affect them. Not only are they incorrect on their faulty calculus in how change will affect them but they cannot grasp that change will happen regardless of their irrational responses.
     Much like the child who throws a tantrum because something they want is not given, too many of us are crying out because our outlook is not being valued above the outlook of others. Too many of us are so selfish that we are willing to let others die so that we can get our way. Our American experiment in that regard has failed miserably. Surely there are those of us who fight for a more egalitarian society but it seems that too many others of us just don't care enough to help along in that fight. We are in a dilemma as a nation and the sooner we either correct ourselves toward change that helps all of society, the better we will be at not smashing our society to the ground.
     Let me be perfectly clear here, change will always occur but what will be the nature of that change? As we stand now there does seem to be a momentum toward positive change and directing that positive change outward. Yet that isn't fact yet and until it is the opportunity for a brighter future is still in doubt. We the people are the ones who will decide no matter how ridiculously the anti democratic movement operate our elections. We can throw the "bums" out regardless of their cheating just by saying enough of this and ending the power grab by those who would make us kneel to them instead of them standing strong alongside of us.
