"if you don't like something-- change it.
if you can not change it, change the way you think about it"

i don't know who FIRST said it-- Mahatma Gandhi, Maya Angelou, or my dad for that matter! i just know it's easier said than done. i am questioning - if changing the way you think about something is mere conformity or a more honorable act-- a sort of 'taking one for the team' for the sake of progress & unity...(THERE'S that word AGAIN).
the middle part of the quote is possibly where we should focus-- the big 2-letter word IF starts the thought off; if you can not change it... implies that we should minimally attempt to change the things we dislike or the injustices we witness.

ok, my father is not responsible for the mentioned quote-- but he can take credit for this one:

"bad things happen because good people stand by and do nothing..."

maybe those good people are the ones that don't try to change the corrupt things around them. maybe they just do not know how, which is another blog all together!  what drives a person to sit silently with inward disapproval and listen to a conversation they know is wrong, or on the far end of extreme tape enough gunpowder to their own chest and walk somberly into eternity, taking others with them, for something they believe to be right?
N E WAYS... here's a lil video honda put out like 2 years ago that i just came across that provoked some thought for me...let me know what you hate enough to change...
oh and it's sung in the key of Grrr...
