Time for change

Now is always a good time for change. But before we change others we need to change ourselves. The first mind to change is your own. Now is as good a time as any for that simple change. Nobody can stop you. Nobody can police your mind though many have tried and many are still trying. How they succeed is in the fear they instill in ones heart that shuts down ones mind. But still the mind refuses to shut down. The tongue can be stilled but the mind cannot. So change your mind and change your heart. Choose humanity. Not only in thought but in deed. Choose humanity with dignity. You own your humanity. You possess your dignity. Nobody can take these away. It is yours to give away. You give away your dignity when you choose to follow dignifying orders and policies such as hurting others on command. You give away your humanity when you treat another without dignity or humanity. Choose to keep your dignity and your humanity intact and you will change the world. The world as it is today requires indignity and inhumanity in order to prosper. Deny it your blood and it will shrivel up and die. A world that has no policies of humanity cannot survive in a crowd of people with humanity. It requires the inhumane treatment of humans by other humans to continue. Stop participating and it cannot continue. It requires your participation ether as an inhumane oppressor or as a inhumane victim. Become neither. Mahatma Gandhi did not oppress and could not be oppressed because he held up his dignity and his humanity. So did Madiba, Nelson Mandela. So did Jesus. So did Buddha. So can you.
