- 19. How do you create the change? To make change you need emotions. Strong emotions. Love and hate can create the change. You know, love and hate are not opposites. The opposite of love is not hate but indifference. It is Indifference which allows people to trash the forests. It is indifference what allows us to destroy our planet. Those people who do that dont hate the planet. They just... dont care. Hate creates fear. Fear kills compassion. Having no compassion makes you indifferent. Luckily, love can extinguish indifference. It makes sense to stick with love if you want to create the change. Once you have peace inside you it is much easier to know right from wrong. 油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油Rainer油N探lvak,油the initiator of Let's do it! in Estonia http://www.letsdoitworld.org/
- 20. Helping the Swarm Swarm Do not work from control, but from facilitating the energy. Dare to play different roles. Be idea carrier and see if you are followed. Make your message as attractive, easy and as fun as possible to follow. If you dont have an idea, than follow and support what needs help. Create a community out of your environment, where people regard each others as members of the same movement, with the same purpose.
- 21. Intelligent Ant Design Everyone is told very clear, what needs to go where. What is most important now and what is less so. Everyone is asked to act like a smart ant. If you see a job, its yours. Fill up the neglects of all others. Help everyone who cant do something alone first. Accept and ask help when needed on an equal level. There is no ownership of any job, unless specified by us. But do know that some people may have more experience than you in certain things. Trust those. You are ready when we all are ready. Then have smart roles at key points.
