The winds of change
Sometimes change comes easily to people, sometimes it would be easier to stop a tidal wave with a screen door…. Throw an idea out into the swarming consciousness and watch it go, it may pass ten thousand people before someone catches it, it may get lost in the process. Sometimes a gentle nudge is all that is needed to get it into a persons head and sometimes it takes a baseball bat!
People are resistant to change, especially change needed that is not directed at them. In our age of hyper everything, time is most precious, getting someone to give a small amount of it a nearly epic challenge. Everyone is busy in today’s world, not giving anything back to it is a major cause of today’s uncaring attitude. If we care nothing of another’s needs what is to make them care for us.
I’m not advocating the giving of all of ones personal time, just small pieces of it, playing with a child, loving your spouse, tending a friend….
Is ten minutes a day impossible to give, a half hour? Most of us can find it if we try, we all know someone that needs it.
