Those who shout the loudest get the attention

******************************

Those who make the biggest noise usually get what they want. Why is life like that? Or, perhaps more importantly, can we change things? Because as long as those who have the means: either an ability with language, wealth, a particular accent, or  who are simply prepared to fight for what they wan, come out on top, how can we expect society to change?

What you see in the individual is replicated in the larger society, and in relations between societies. Is it naive to imagine there could be any other way? They crucified the man who thought so.

Is it simply human nature to 'fight for your rights'; your family; your country? 

Change has got to start with the individual - are you going to be the first to risk it? Probably not. And why should you, when a look at the world shows you what happens to those who 'turn the other cheek'.

So we go on demanding 'our rights', and knocking over - verbally or otherwise - those we perceive to be denying us those rights.

How sad. But we need to remember that we are, after all, animals (albeit sophisticated animals) and we have a long way to go.

Somehow though, that doesn't just seem good enough. So can you come up with an answer, Anna, because I can't.

Anyway, it's 11pm and I am yawning so am away to my little bed.

( I don't know what to make of that photo of yours)
