Change and resposibility

I have been thinking about Change and responsibility.

If we were to have another chance at the vote for President last year, would it result in a different outcome? I do not think so, even in hindsight.

If the average American were to go back in time to the election and admit to what they perceived the word “CHANGE” to mean to them, would they step up to Gandhi? Gandhi is quoted as saying;
"You must be the change you want to see in the world."

Would each of us accept that our own words describing what we would like changed are our own message to our selves to "be" that change?

If we accept the premise that the “CHANGE” we hoped for would be our own responsibility. If we then accepted the responsibility to effect that change. We would be better off not locking up dope smugglers and releasing on parole serious felons, as one example. Pick your own change here, please.

I have taken on a few changes I hope to see. I anticipate that you will consider what “CHANGE” you will be responsible to see occur by you "being" that change.

Here’s your change, thanks for finally paying it forward, oh sorry, got carried away with ‘responsibility’ and included yet another responsibility - paying it forward.
