BEING REAL TO BE THE CHANGE

We live in a society of appearances. Medias and social medias are too much present. Many people are afraid to say what they really think and feel. They prefer to rally to the general opinion, to be accepted.

                               If all of us acted to be real. To talk really frankly without feeling forced to say the same thing others say, we could change so much. So many people talk about "being the change" right now. Specially on social medias. The desire of change is enormous everywhere in the world. Society is sick, and we all want to see changes happen. But medias still control a lot opinions and the way to think. Citizens have an influence on medias but the influence of medias on citizens is stronger.

                    Starting with the people who surround us, we must be real. We must stop to play a game. Stop to wear a mask, to appear in a way that will make others accept us more. Fear stops us from being who we really want to be. Money also have a power on us and can stop us from being what we really want to be, or from being where we really would love to be. I am living this problem right now. I don't care what others will say if i make a choice. I am over this feeling. But right now, money is my problem. I have to make a major change in my situation and i know that i must relocate in another city to achieve what i intend to achieve. Many people are facing this situation.

                           But, before pretending to be the change, we must first learn to be real. Honest with ourselves.. Capable of seeing things as they are and capable of making a move without being influenced by what others will think and what will be their judgment. To see change happen in this society, we must be able first, to change ourselves and to change our situations and our way of seeing things. If we were more real, we could change the world. Surely.
