Why do people think that they are weak and cannot change the world?

In answer to your initial question...The answer is because. as you stated...they THINK they can't. A person of course CAN...they just THINK they can't.

How can they change that type of thinking ? Increased awareness of a persons Higher Self . . . And...the ' rising up ' actually IS happening as we speak.

First of all, I'm getting sick and tired of seeing "people" like you purporting to have a clear vision of what other "people think," what "the average person feel[s]," that "all of humanity" have "just decided we are indiviually worthless."

Secondly, I'd like a clearer understanding from you about just what kind of power you expect everyone who reads this to exercise. How do you think power is exercised in this society? You do seem to think that "the power structure" of this society is, in some way, important. But I'm not sure whether or not you think that it is a "power structure" that is good for people or bad for people. You seem to be urging people to think of themselves as being, even as just individuals, powerful enough to overrule the existing "power structure." Please excuse me, because maybe I don't understand what you mean, but you seem to be urging people to be vigilantes -- of some sort.

Thirdly, one power that I like to think that I have is the power to persuade -- I have the power and the right to speak my mind about things which I believe are going on which are unjust and which need to be corrected. That is a major reason why I visit this site and the "Politics and Government" section in particular. It is a reason why I've sent a number of letters to newspapers, hoping to see them get printed (and quite a few have been).

But if you want for me to do more than just talk, what else do you expect me to do?

A single drop in a pool of water can turn the pool into ripples that can spread all away around to the outer edges. A single vote or a single voice can do the same in a democracy.

we have to know we need rising up before we are inspired to make change.. everyone.. figures that so long as they're okay ... the world is.. and they dont see it crumbling before their very eyes. We dont need a leader so much as a speaker one who will make people understand that change is needed.

because they have no use of power and most people suffer the consequens!
