I turn on my television and and scroll through the channels and the news that is readily available is characterized by violence, poverty, nudity, war, rumors of war, drug abuse, homosexuality, economic recession, amongst others. The picture looks gloomy to the extent that one is forced at times to stay away from the media because of the overwhelming negative broadcast one encounters. Then, can it be said that there are no positive things to look out for? of course not!
The American presidential elections of 2008, was unprecedented but decided based on the eloquence of Barak Obama and his gospel of change. The major reason for his canvassing for such can be adduced to the way and manner things had gone for the Americans. The people were so divided on political lines that it had overshadowed the spirit which birthed the American Dream! Individualism is what drives people whereby the essence of humanity has been relegated to the background. Values which seeks to bring humanity to the level of divinity has been been deliberately eroded by those who have the economic and political capacity to do such.
The world, as it is today needs people to begin to care less about themselves and start to extend their hands of selfless service to the next person available to them who needs it. There is enough to go round if it is only for man to live and fulfill a purpose of life which is beyond him and to the human race. It should be noted that there are still people who are in possession of the golden heart, but the percentage of such individuals is so little compared to those who are so powerful and influential but doing little to help the course of humanity.
People need to join the train of those committed to enhancing the course of the human race so as see to it that the world really changes for the better and for a lager proportion of people. You do not have to be a millionaire, all you need is to be a positive influence wherever it is you find yourself!, In other words, BE THE CHANGE YOU CRAVE FOR!
