I have been advocating for change. Change that is positive. Change that is beneficial to humanity. Change that would look at the past and fashion a way in the present that would impact the future. Change that is not engineered to line my pockets or that of my friends.
Some refuse to see beyond the tip of their noses. Some simply refuse to think. (I wonder what the head is used for). Some simply have a conscience. They think right. Are you one of such?
In one way or the other, you can bring about change. Many avenues. Many doors. Don’t be quick to condemn. When you don’t have the expertise in the field, allow those who have it to do the work. It will never diminish your dignity. The fingers are not equal in length. Let change emanate from your corner; from your know how; from your comfort zone.
This is my zone. I will write. I will debate. I will think positive. It will be done.
