Recipe For Changing the World

So many would change the world one vs. 7.5 billion, the odds a tad absurd Yet if you transform yourself and then a friend you've just halved the odds, perhaps started a trend

I have decided to not change the world, but rather change myself into a pleasure-seeking animal. It has been working for fifteen years.

Pleasure-seeking animal?! -- If you were a woman, I might get interested... Then again, I am a 'Wolf.' ~ Big Eyes

The transformation should begin with oneself and that would influence one's close friend and it will go on and on expanding ! Right Thinking Gershon

If you gave a penny every day to a charity, but on the second day got a friend to join you, then each of you got an additional friend for the next day, and so on... the charity would receive 10 million dollars by the end of the month. GW = Great Words

This is absolutely such a great idea. I'm going to try it. I don't have so many friends -- but for a penny?! I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't join in. Will report back, boss. Great suggestion!!! Thanks! :) gw

I do my best to speak only good but find of late, I MUST also speak out when I see injustice, inequality, dishonor and lack of integrity. I may be becoming a bleeding heart for all people. Black, white, oriental - hold on to what you believe in, anything less is irrelevant.

O.K. DM. I'm taking you up on your offer. For myself, I am starting as of this minute to speak (write, email, etc.) only good about other people. I'm monitoring myself, and I have family helping monitor me too. Please let me know your plan. Best wishes, Gershon (Soup mail, please).
