Change for the Better and the Hurdles
When we need and demand global to local change, due to the recent internet-driven culture, the X and post-X generations approach the process of change with an impatient attitute. In our internet, e-mail, blackberry world, instantaneous gratification has become a way of life and we forget to even reflect on our own short-tempered behavior.
Well, grooted offers a solution to this dilemma. Change must be accepted as a grooted process amidst the modern crossroads. One individual can't effect the change she envisions until she can practice a grooted way of life. The idea of one individual, no matter how righteous or inspirational, having an impossible hurdle of leading any change has existed since Platonic times. The Allegory of the Cave is a great example when one person who knew the truth about fire (symbolic representation of truth and knowledge) who attempted to spread this truth but ended up being killed by his community.
In order to overcome this hurdle, we must now confront the internet jaded, instananeous gratification way of living with a grooted philosophy.
Being grooted in making change means maximizing our technology to create a collective empowerment, whereby one individual does not have to risk death for attempting change.
