Everyday on this earth is a chance to capture a beautiful moment. Why would we as an intelligent society allow our ways of thinking to be so distorted that we no longer see the beauty in everyday? Why are we consumed with greed, narcissism, an personal advancement? Many of the people caught up in this samsaric process are good, intelligent, kind, well-meaning people. Unfortunately, due to societal pressures and child-hood programming, they are led to believe that financial, or business success is equal to happiness. This pressure is centuries old, and cannot be undone in a day. However, slowly, every where I hear the voices of the people unwilling to be hurried, unwilling to conform, unwilling to believe the status quo is the only path. How can these people redefine the American way? How can they-we- be the change?
