Can individual efforts impact a situation?

The question above can be explained with the parallel outlined in my previous posting : "by switching off the light in a room that it is not needed can an individual impact the environment positively?" The answer is a definite YES even though some might disagree. Some might say there are bigger things that can be done than worry about switching off unnecessary lights! Well yes there are but each one of us can do something small and when you add the small things that could be done today towards a cause the impact might appear a bit bigger at the end of that day! Most importantly tomorrow more individuals might catch on with the universal consciousness idea and a bigger thing might be achieved tomorrow as a result of more individuals "switching off that unnecessary light bulb"!!

Similarly for the Cyprus issue each Cypriot (be it Greek or Turkish) can do something about it. The business community members for example may choose to start cooperating in some way. The entertainers might decide to work together on a play or a show, the artists might do exhibitions together, the scientists might research and write articles together. If a wave of cooperation, mutual respect of each others' abilities and contribution could catch on then maybe a solution could be much closer than we think. If we look back in history it is usually the masses of the people who solve the major issues it is not their leaders (no direspect to anyone intended). In some cases their leaders were the reason why the solutions were not happening.

Could I please solicit some ideas through this Blog on how each one of us can do something (small) that will get us closer to a solution of the "Cyprus Problem"?

Help Solve the Cyprus Problem

I have created this blog to express views that will hopefully lead other people to want to take their luck in their hands and do something about things that matter.

Although the main purpose of this blog is to discuss ways to progress towards a solution of the Cyprus problem that will be viable for both Turkish and Greek Cypriots, other issues will also be discussed that require individuals to be in tune with all others in order to be succesfully addressed. Saving our enviroment from distraction is one of these issues. A simple example how we can alltogether impact something like this is : the trivial case of not switching off the light when it is not needed!

I would be very interested to get in touch with anyone who has similar interests/beliefs and would like to explore possibilities to make a difference.

Blogging

My name is Michalis A. Michael and I am Cypriot Citizen with Greek background. I believe that every human being should have a higher purpose in life, and abide by guiding principles that are usually a consequence of that purpose.

There is a global trend, in some countries more and in some less towards social responsibility and stronger sense of community as opposed to domination of selfish interests.

Web-logs or Blogs is another interesting socioeconomic trend with geopolitical extensions. It will be interesting to see how this trend will develop in influencing world developments and human behavior.
