Instruments of Change

Waiting for leadership is like waiting for Godot…

Psst! Folks, if you didn’t see the play, you wouldn’t know that Godot never shows…

And like the theatre of the Absurd, the government does a damn good job of emulating a bunch of absurdists waiting for the solutions to fall out of the sky.

And for the rest of us?

Well, if you wait for solutions from government, you can wait forever.

Let’s face it, the notion of checks and balance said ‘sayonara’ a while back when TV was recognized as an end to everything.

And that was the beginning of the end of free elections.

Now, a candidate in this race may spend a billion dollars to win…

So, what does that mean to you?

It means you have to ask yourself why anybody would lay out a billion dollars to get someone elected?

A Chinese activist who is now 92 said that if you wait for positive change to come from government, you can wait forever.

We have to recognize that the leaders we wait for are us!

We are the instruments of change.

And until we understand that and are willing to pick up the standard, there will be no change; just rhetoric.

What do you think? Make sense?
