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

Caren Krutsinger Date: 1/25/2022 1:54:00 AM I have decided to not change the world, but rather change myself into a pleasure-seeking animal. It has been working for fifteen years.

Valsa George Date: 1/24/2022 7:50:00 PM 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 Login to Reply

John Watt Date: 1/21/2022 10:00:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/22/2022 8:14:00 PM 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 DM Babbit Date: 1/22/2022 8:41:00 AM inspirational

DM Babbit Date: 1/20/2022 10:14:00 AM Good idea, start right now. Login to Reply DM Babbit Date: 1/21/2022 9:58:00 AM 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. Gershon Wolf Date: 1/20/2022 10:34:00 AM 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).

Tom Cunningham Date: 1/20/2022 3:58:00 AM I'm with you Gershon, let's make the world a better place. Tom Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/20/2022 6:22:00 PM I think I've done my part today, anyway. I've hardly spoken a word! lol ~ Bound and Gagged

Kim Rodrigues Date: 1/19/2022 8:33:00 PM Yes, let’s start a trend! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/20/2022 6:21:00 PM Sure enough. See my reply to DM Babbit above. Thanks, Kim.

I love the numbers game you play here Gershon Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/19/2022 6:36:00 PM Well, we might need a few more candles, as I was born before the first billenium. lol

L Milton Hankins Date: 1/19/2022 6:16:00 PM This is such a delightful thought, gw. And, then it may spread exponentially, I would hope! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/19/2022 6:37:00 PM Exactly. From small beginnings come incredible endings.
