If you have the power to create positive change, I think you also have an obligation to do it.

@StillIRise1963 Yes. And the greater the power one has, the more responsibility they have to act.

@derek Exactly.

All the vows make in their baptismal covenant end in "with God's help"

I will do whatever is in my power to make positive change in this world, with God's help

@StillIRise1963 People will have different ideas about the meaning of “positive change”.

@AnOldGuy Let's start on the macro level. Fundamentals.

cla3ja33r,

@StillIRise1963 would finding and dumping all billionaires into a hungry volcano be considered a positive? I think if we all set our differences and distractions aside, we’d all realize collectively that we have the power to do so.

@cla3ja33r I'm open to discussion.🤔

cla3ja33r,

@StillIRise1963 the social engineering aspect is the most difficult to tackle. How do you convince someone (people of the global majority) to go against something (money/religion/Eugenics-based ideology/billionaires) that falsely brings them comfort and safety when it’s all they’ve known?

@cla3ja33r Is it people of the global majority who don't get who the culprit is? Or, is it a much smaller percentage of people who are in control?

@StillIRise1963
I agree with the concept of “if you have the power to create positive change, you have an obligation to do so.”
Yet personally struggle with drawing the line on how much to sacrifice for my family and self in helping others.

@rauder I think it ebbs and flows to some degree with the different chapters in life, or with a period of crisis.
