You must be the change that you want to see in the world.

Many, will laugh when they see a subject like this,because there are some beliefs which indeed got deep rooted among people's mind.Obviously,the answer to the subject will be a big emphatic "NO" by most of the people since evreybody has forced to believe that they are not that all important in the society. We can put it in another way - most of us believe that a single person can not change the world.But as quoted by somebody "each and every moment you spent were your opportunity to change the world".
Today I spoke with senthil arumugam(for knowing more about him "click ") and that was the reason for me to spend some time on this topic.Even though I was knowing only a little about his organization he spent time to gather comments from the maximum and hence I too had to share my thoughts with him.
Many issues are there in our planet which could be or should be resolved .It can be categorized into different groups.I think,we can classify the issues mainly into two types.
Enviornmental Issues:Issues such as the usage of plastics,pollution,waste disposal etc..
Social issues:Issues like food,shelter,dress,education etc...
Since all these issues have categories and subcategories it is highly unlikely for any person or any group to eradicate any of these issue completely from a region (not from the whole world). We can find the traces of all of these issues everywhere, but it may vary from region to region. So it all matters with the particular area where we are keeping focus into and the number of people whom we can associate with the plan.
Education:
I need not mention that education plays a crucial role in the overall personality of a person. According to a newspaper, many people in Bihar still believe that a king called Jawaharlal Nehru rules India. God’s grace! They at least know that India is being ruled by Indians.Let’s take the example of the so-called ‘banjares’ whose tents can be seen near almost every every towns of India.They might be doing various jobs. We can see most of them as the creators of wonderful statues. Some of them will be artists ,some of them will be singers.Some might even be thieves.
It is a common visual in an town that a boy carrying some statues or mats and knocking the gates of every home he sees. They do not feel election or OBC reservation as issues. They are not even going to the schools (though there is a law which ensures it). So, why should they bother about the reservations in IITs and AIIMS? .Since every human being spends considerable time for thoughts, what would be their thoughts? What would be their dreams?......who cares?
How can we bring them to the mainstream?
We can still see lots of children doing their work in hotels, shops etc. What is the probability for a beggar’s children getting proper education? They may not have been associated with a proper state. If today they are in Tamilnadu,by tomorrow they might be in another state. Suppose a group of dedicated people launched a plan to educate these children, by forcing them to attend the class or with the help of the authorities. Won’t they face challenges from the class, which they belong to. Surely they will. But all depends on the nature and the strength of the program, which is launched. According to communist manifesto there are only two classes-The upper class burgeous, and the lower class proletariat.
But is it so? The class, which I spoke about, is indeed out of these three. They are not bothering about the social set up.
They simply live...
Active participation: This is the solution for all the issues. Every human being despite of his profession should participate in the society actively. It does not matter whether he/she is an engineer, begger, shopkeeper or whatever he/she may be. If everybody started participating in this beautiful harmony of social life without considering them as a separate entity ,do we feel all these sorrows?
(We can even write a book but time is not permitting me to continue with this topic.....may be continued later)
Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people. (Quote is not mine)
