When you’re view of the world only includes balls bouncing upward, you might think anyone who believes in gravity to be naive and simplistic.
Those who step back and look at the system as a whole will see something different. Gravity always moves thing down.
Sit in the political system or work in the media and you may hold a view that society moves based on certain forces. Steps back though, and communications theory clearly shows that it is the word of mouth happening at the community level that ultimately dictates what makes it into the media and onto the political agenda.
And when we look at who the influencers are in local day to day conversation, there are a few individuals within society that influence how word of mouth spreads.
“Never underestimate the power of a few committed people to change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Meade
Change is good
Hello Teresa, I m 61 meanwhile, and yes, I see how everything good is going down, but greed and wickedness is going up. The world population is going up too, and so does poverty. It is however no surpriise for me, the bible foretold all this. It will even get much worse 🙂

Good post , the final sentence is very inspiring .
and just like the bouncing ball, politics goes up and down. the good things done by republicans will be broken by Democrats, then the Republicans will break anything good the Dems put in place.
change is good but we dont have enough committed people for the positive change that we need
love it!
great post
The problem with ups and downs is that it depends on how you perceive them i.e. a down to you could be an up to me!
I have never seen it this way before, but it is right, this is how change happens
