Let's Change the Way We Live & the Way We Treat Each Other (And Start Being the Change We Wish to See in the World)

in #dailyquotes5 years ago

I made a rather lengthy post on the song Changes by Tupac Shakur, including the following powerful quote which I also wanted to share as a standalone post for all those who may not be interested in reading such a long piece. If you appreciate this quote and Tupac's words resonate with you, do feel free to check out my longer post on this (link below @ end of post)...

"I got love for my brother,
But we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other.
We gotta start makin' changes,
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers...
Take the evil out the people, they'll be actin' right,
'Cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight.
And the only time we chill is when we kill each other;
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other..."

"We gotta make a change! It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live, and let's change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn't working, so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive." - Tupac Shakur, Changes:

Words just as true now as they were all the way back in 1992 when first recorded. So let's take these words to heart, let's change the entire way we live, the way we treat each other, and let's start being the change we wish to see in the world! For changing ourselves truly is the only way to affect any real and meaningful change in this world. Or in the words of David Draiman as the lead singer of Disturbed in their song Land of Confusion, "This is the world we live in, and these are the hands we're given. Use them and let's start trying, to make it a place worth fighting for!" Yes, indeed. And with that, I'm out...

For those who are interested, below is the link to my longer in depth post on this topic made in loving memory of Tupac Shakur and his message of hope - 22 Years And Still No Changes...

I hope you find these quotes inspiring; together we can create a much better world, lasting peace on earth and true freedom for humanity.

Bare love for Tupac, man was ahead of his time.

It's a shame his star was extinguished so early.
