Change or not to change?: Apr 13 2011

Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE) said...

Our immediate environment and world situations are constantly in a state of flux. As such that nothing is permanent in life except change . Change we must. Change within oneself has to happen either willingly through own realisation based on added knowledge or forcibly due to impinging external forces and demands. Change for the community is organizational based.

We are a creature of habit. And habit don't change easily when reinforced by culture. Now, more than ever the individual and thought community of Malaysians are being challenged, provoked and inflamed to ponder,react and adapt.

The country is facing dynamic controversies and issues on many fronts at one go - politics (leadership, government vs oppositon parties, elections ...), religion (bible issue), social (sex-scandals, corruption, disunity, poverty), economics (price hikes), education.

Many of the issues are self-created due to poor governance. With all these going-ons our minds are in a state of amuk as to what really going on with the country. And we have to make decisions as to choices, moves, adaptations to stay peaceful. To stay ignorant means inviting unhappiness.
