    A reply on Conversation: Why do we want to change the world?

    Feb 22 2013: Change has a very deep and unique meaning to everyone I imagine. Is it an emotional change? Is it a physical change? Is it a technology shift?

    I was born in Bagamoyo, Tanzania and was last there in 1993. Albeit 20 years since my last visit, what I found was content in the simple life. Simple being no running water, no electricity, dirt floors and an abundance of love. Extended experiences like that lead me to say why change? Why isn't that enough? I don't want to change the physical or emotional nature of that world. I would, however, like the rest of the world to find that level of peace and satisfaction so Yes, I'd like to change the world in that way.
