Change a word used many times, yet to little affect
“We gotta make a change…
It’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes.
Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live
and let’s change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn’t working so it’s on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.”

Its like reading one of Obamas speeches isn’t it?Yes a black man wrote this, yes he was an American but those aren’t Obamas words, those are the words of the late Tupac Shakur.He wrote those words and demanded change more then 14 years ago.So the main questions are has anything changed thus far, if not can Obama change things in his 4, possible 8 years of presidency?
Yes we all agree we need change, but to do that we need to agree what we want to change and then how we want to do it!But no one alone can make huge changes, we must all contribute to it no matter how hard it gets.But in this cushioned world we live in, when we are used to the good life are we prepared to give up some of the commodities to help the greater good.Surely Herbert Spencer coined, and Darwin later borrowed the phrase, its the survival of the fittest and not the survival of the one who gives up the most so the rest can enjoy!So only after we overcome our selfish side we can start making some changes.
We must decide first on what we think is right and what we think is wrong in this world, or in our lives.But doing that means coming together which will be hard if not impossible.It sure will take longer then we would like it, and even if at first things will look like they changed its probably just a temporary patch.
But some things look as though they will never change, such as the wars in the middle east, it has been going on for far too long and it seems no one can do anything about it no matter how hard they/we try.
Conclusion:
Time and only time will show if things have changed for the better!Until then we have the only thing left, the thing that never ran from Pandora’s box, Obamas second favourite word, we have HOPE.
So lets hope things change…
