"Be the change you want to see in the world."

"Be the change you want to see in the world."

This morning, heart thumping sounds of resounding election campaign jingles woke me up. Alas! It's the start again of the unending thread of campaigns and political promises for next months 'til May. Wherein political aspirants would try their "best-est" ways to court and win the sympathy of voters. It's the colorful - - - not to mention most controversial and sometimes dramatic season. Promises of change, poverty alleviation, abolition of economic detriments and more! - - - ending up to the demands of voting for them. Weew! I think I've heard this things and lines over and over...

Have we seen change?,
Was poverty defeated?
Did the economic situation able to recover?
How's terrorism going?
And oh, how was a ranking at the most corrupt country list? - did it even went down? - - - us being the grand prize title holder? ;p NONE!

"Be the change you want to see in the world."

I mean, PRACTICALLY - - - let's accept the fact that there's actually no such thing as INSTANT change. You won't get rich in a snap of a finger. You wont get a solution for the problems of this nation in a blink of an eye. And it's a real deal that we cannot solely leave the problems of this country in the hands of our elected officials. Aren't we scared of the nation we are going to hand down to our future children? In one way or the other, we are all sharers towards making this world the best place it "could still" possibly be. One thing is for sure, nothing would happen if you don't get up and do your part. It's simple.

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
