force the public opinion is controlled by these centralized organizations.
We are in trouble, because people pay attention to the wrong people and meaningless things. A man either fights or decides to do nothing, in any case he is committing an action that has consequences. An attitude of “let’s go along to get along”, and “yes sir, no sir” won’t create a positive change. Staying idle is a deliberate and conscious action too. Such action would show a bad example and pass all the information through to others without any filter.
Going back to the ‘peer-to-peer’ allegory: I would say we either broadcast truth and goodness or then we broadcast ignorance and lies. To begin the transmission of truth you must pay attention to individual people rather than organized institutions; read books rather than news; and seek wisdom from yourself, not from the crowd. The change starts from yourself, as before we can help others we must help ourselves.
We create change, positive o negative, even if we try not to. If you are reading this, I’m sure you want to create positive change, so do as Mahatma Gandhi said: “Be the change you want to see in the world”.
