At times like these, people can feel powerless in the face of the devastating oppression, hate, cruelty, violence and greed on display in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world. That is exactly how hateful, evil leaders like Putin and Trump want you to feel. If you feel powerless and act that way, you become much easier to abuse, use, oppress and take advantage of. So with that in mind, what can you do?
Powerful for good in your own life
Begin with your own life, and work in ways that make you powerful for good with those you love, live with and work with. Do what you can to make your sphere of living as humane, positive, loving, healthy and good as possible.
Get involved in ways that make better
We all have gifts we can contribute to the greater good. Some may have more to give than others, but every contribution matters. Find ways to speak up, advocate, and contribute to the greater good. You can do that.
Make a plan to support betterment
Envision the good world you imagine. Make a plan as to how you'll work to help make that vision come alive, then get to work on that plan.
There are some who hold great power and abuse that power in ways that result in true harm, hurt, death and destruction. Those evildoers create great pain and suffering. We must not let them make us powerless, but instead do all we can to use the power we have for greater good. We can do this.
