Changes = HOPE FOR A BETTER LIFE

They were nothing more than people, by themselves. even paired, any pairing, the would have been nothing more than people by themselves. but all together, they had become the heart and muscles and mind of something perilous and new, something strange and growing and great. Together, all together, they were instruments of CHANGE.

Keri Hume, contemporary Maori writer, in THE BONE PEOPLE

When I first read this quote, I was totally amazed. I was amazed by the sentences and I was also amazed by the things that are reflected by this statement. You see, people often think that they can't do anything in this world. They often think that they're just too small to be a part of a change. They often consider themselves as useless since they think that they can't actually make any differences. 

Well, from my point of view, it's totally stupid if a person says something like that. If a person says something like that, it means that live is hopeless. That person is actually the poorest person ever.  

Well, I would like to say a thing or two about the meaning of this statement for me. You see, I still do think that sometimes I'm just not strong enough to make a difference but when I'm together with my buddies, it seems that things get easier all the way. Like this statement that said we're strong when we're together, I do feel it too in my days. When things get too tough or too difficult for me to handle, I always look for support from my family and my buddies. When I do that, it seems that a giant weight have just been lifted from my body. 

However, the things  I said above are only public-known facts. People all over the world know what's the meaning of being together. People all over the world know what they can do when they're together. People all over the world always appreciate the joy of being together. We don't need to teach them to be together with their buddies to be strong. But we do need to teach them what they can do and what sort of changes they can make when they're strong. 

We know that when people are strong they can make changes. There have been many evidences that when you're strong, you tend to be controlling things and when you're controlling things, once again, you're the instruments of changes. But, the question now is, DO WE REALLY WANT TO SEE ANY CHANGES? NO!!! We want to see changes that lead us to a better future. So, what changes can bring us a better future? Answers to this question are many, but all of the answers are actually leading to the same thing. They're actually mentioning one thing. A BETTER LIFE. They're actually telling us that changes are supposed to bring us a better life. 

YES PEOPLE!! WE ONLY WANT A BETTER LIFE!! BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW!!

Better here means everything. It could mean as a better job;  a better house; a better car; a better wife or husband; even better children. We simply just want better in everything. So, all in all, we only want changes because we just want a better life ( same as I said earlier ).  But, we still have to pay attention to the other side of changes. Changes doesn't always mean a better life. Changes can be bad. Changes can bring sadness. Changes can tear us apart. It's the fact. People all around us may tell us that changes are mostly bad. Changes sometimes are not the same with most people's hopes. But, enough with the sadness. We must always be positive since know that we can always hope that changes actually mean a better life.
