How large changes are made


Your intention indirectly affects what you do. But a lot of us underestimate it, it seems easy to change your intent and it is. But that is only the case with small changes in your intent, which only affect your actions for the smallest part. If you want to change your intents to such an extent that they actually make you like a monster doing everything you want, that does not work. Because you actually have to change yourself and you do not want to be a monster. 
 
How big changes in this world are made
Changes are made through some sort of power. It might be true knowledge that make the change because everyone must agree with true knowledge, though I have never heard of such a thing for cultures make this impossible. But most changes are made through sheer force of will. The combined strength of people controlled by money, rules or a shared cause is what is constantly making this world twist. Money and rules are set by governments and large companies. Shared causes come from the people. Our power lies in our ability to group up by talking about our values. By gossiping about other people we state that what that guy did is wrong or right. By talking about politics and its faults we make sure the other person knows what we think. The list goes on, but it is unnecessary to state so many examples. The point is that through subtly spreading our values, we share our power towards our causes. And we are secretly plotting about the subjects of our gossip to overrule them and take over the power to change this world to our hand. 

What I do with my intent
I like to make conscious choices about what it is that I want this world to become. This is how I spend most of my philosophy hours. It is important to know what you strive for, because only then can you change this world for the better. Do not mindlessly follow others, do not simply agree on their gossip. Because intent is way too important to be used just to have something in common.

Thank you.
