But, little changes, sometimes very subtle - if you pick up on them, often beget big changes. And changed people will want to change the environment they live in, whatever it may be. I see it quite often. The further down a person is pushed, the 'worse' that person is gonna become. But then if someone takes a genuine interest and liking to someone, their better part is going to start to surface.
Human nature can be terrible at times.
But most often it isn't, given the chance. Someone once said that before you change the system, you need to change the people who work in and for it. You are repeating that in your message, and you are right on. There's not gonna be a revolution, not in the classical sense, anyway - unless Big Business sponsors it. Used under License.
