MAKE A CHANGE, BE THE DIFFERENCE.
One question for everyone? Do you think you can change anything?
I’ve gone on countless rants via social networks and conversations and I know the looks I get every time I speak. ‘She is crazy. We can’t change anything.’
For a moment, put aside snide remarks, frustration and pure lack of compassion and watch this video.
We are a generation who has sat back and watched as life has evolved around us and we have hoped for some change.
We can’t hope for change, change is something we can’t watch on the television or read about on facebook. Change is something we have the power to make. We have been divided by corporations and media outlets that have told us how to live our entire lives but the only reason they are able to do that is because we listen. Because we believe it.
What if one time we believed that we could change something? What if for once we believed that we are a democracy with the real power laying in the voice the of citizens?
If generations before us had the power of reaching someone across the world in just one click, their causes would have been known. If the Freedom Riders had the power to infiltrate the minds of others with one click, maybe innocent lives wouldn’t have been taken. Maybe if the Jewish did in Germany, maybe if the victims of Rwanda did, maybe if those in Darfur did, maybe if they all had this advantage, history books would be written differently.
ATTENTION EVERYONE:
We have an advantage that no other generation has had. We fear the idea of being powerless because we lack the resources or pocket change but this is a free place where words can reach millions. Where images can be uploaded in one minute, shared across the world in one day and reaching major headlines in nearly one week. We believe we can do absolutely nothing because we have been told that. We believe we can’t create change because we have yet to see change happen. Let’s be the change other generations see. Let’s correct every ignorant mind that says we are a lazy generation. Let’s show the powerful, the famous, the dictators, the leaders, everybody, that power and change still comes in numbers. Let’s show the world that this cannot happen anywhere. Let us all work together and re-establish our natural power. Most importantly, LET’S MAKE KONY FAMOUS.
