WHY CAN'T WE CHANGE THE SYSTEM ?

Yes, why can't we change the system? or Why should we change the system?

The year 2011 saw many system changes, the Arab Spring, Libya, Egypt...

we don't no the extent of these changes or where they will lead; but changes

there have been, that's for sure!

Many of us would like to see a fairer, more egalitarian system...

but what stops us from actually taking the plunge and start heading towards the new world that

we dream of ?

Kester Brewin in his book 'Signs of Emergence' suggests 3 reasons;

1. The system is too big, too complicated, too advanced - it's gone too far

2. We'll pay a financial price, we'll be worse off and therefore won't enjoy our current lifestyle

3. If you 'do' step out of line, people will mock you

We've seen that the system as we know it is beginning to crack, to show signs of weakness...the current crisis is proof of this...we may be worse off if we start to act more justly and more humanely...but can we trust the current system?...people may mock us but at the same time there seems to be an undercurrent of discontent (to put it mildly) and as those around us also seek a new way - maybe they be attracted to a new lifestyle that goes against the current 'system' of greed, money, looking after number one...

Why can't we change the system? Hey?
