Time to speak - Einstein style

"Nothing that I can do or say will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice, I can help the greatest of all causes — good will among men and peace on earth." Albert Einstein

It feels like we are waiting for a great leader to rise up and lead us out of this accelerating dehumanizing corporation run globally destructive path we are on. And while we are waiting our governments continue to feed the corporations subsidies, tax relief and allowing them to break the law. Who will this great leader be and where will she come from? I'd love to think it could be Jacinda Ardern (PM of New Zealand) or Michelle Obama or any of the other women who are leading with strength and compassion. They are speaking and following their words with action! That is how they are leading... and we are listening ... now we need to add our voices!

Our waiting gives free airtime for every interest that cares to speak and they sound louder because they are speaking also with violence. 

What if we didn't spend all our time chasing the tail of the fire breathing dragon, jumping to get out of the way when it swings, then advancing closer when it swings away again? What if we faced the dragon head on? 

Its time to speak out peeps! Let's change the pattern of complaining and finding fault with everything our government does. Time to pour water on that puffed up machine that keeps rolling over us because we keep letting it. Lets all speak out for what we really want and demand our politicians develop policies that support the good of all and have the corporations pay for it...and there are ethical corporations out there. We are in a mess and as Albert also says  "we can't solve problems using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them"

One voice may not change the universe, but many voices is the only thing that ever will.

So it actually does not take much effort to write and call our local politicians. After the first time gathering the email, addresses and phone numbers of their office it gets much easier. Sending them a message any time we believe they are making a bad choice; asking them questions and telling them what we believe the policy should be/address. And even a message to support their stand on a piece of legislation if we believe in it. It might prove interesting to develop a relationship with our politicians, if we get a direct response, hmmm I've yet to get one, a little mission for me now .... and the really important thing is that we share our message beyond our comfortable circles so that our voices get some airtime and go into the mix too because we count. 

Cheers
