It is nice, when we feel that way, to run across something that proves us totally wrong.
Today on Washingtons Blog is an outstanding piece that demonstrates even when you feel you are having absolutely no impact, you are in fact, creating change.
The piece quotes historical figures and examples of how few numbers have been able to change history and even kept Nixon from a nuclear attack on Vietnam.
From our perspective one of the more interesting aspects of the piece is the mention of a social experiment whereby individuals will conform to a greater belief even if it is not true. Add one dissenting person and the proclivity to conform is reduced as much as 10%. That is the difference one person, YOU, can make!
The rub is however, it can't be done over the anonymity of the internet. It must be done by a real person refusing to follow the herd, with the courage to stand up and speak the truth!
We are not going to post the whole piece here because it is fairly long. So this link will take you to it:
It Is Worth Fighting … Even When There Is No Hope of Winning
Even the choice to read the post or not, will make a difference in your life.
