Part 4: Now is better than ever

This is the fourth in a four part series of posts that deal with some of my most significant feels about change in the current world.

Over the past three weeks, I have been very critical of a lot of things. Some people may not have agreed with me on many of my ideas; in fact, there are some that won’t agree with ANY of the ideas I put out. That, though, was not the point that I want people to take away from all of this. The point that I am hoping to make is that there ARE things in the world that need changing. There are areas where the world still needs fixing; our society needs to be brought together. Finding those areas that need attention and planning initiatives to ease the problems is what is the most important thing.

There is a phrase that I have heard frequently when discussing the ideas for these blog posts. That phrase is “That isn’t how the world works”. Frankly, I’m sick of that. That is no longer a good enough excuse. When we say “That isn’t how the world works”, we are accepting the way things are now, and refusing to allow ourselves to get any better. We are standing in our own way, preventing change that can lead to better. I agree that is important to understand how things work as of now, but to use that as a reason NOT to work harder and not to fix it is frankly not ok. The world is what we make it.

Every step that we take toward solving a problem is one step closer together.

These past few posts may sound as if I am sounding like a socialist. That is not the case. Pure and simple, I do not feel that things in the world are the way they should be. I feel like certain people are not getting a fair shot at life and are not being allowed to live the best way that they can to contribute to society. I feel that we can make strides toward helping to fix these issues and giving everyone the chance to have a chance. What they do with that chance is up to them.

Good enough is no longer good enough. It is time we start making this world the best that it can be, and the best that we can be.
