“From me to we! The concept of helping to create positive change from the individual to the collective.”

As much as I do agree with the ‘concept,’ I believe it would be quite hard to attempt to achieve; some (if not most) people are quite stubborn and nervous about joining a group of strangers. On the other hand, if it were a group of friends of any level, they may be less reluctant to join.

Unification, as history shows, has always been a concept that humanity has had an issue with; countries such as Serbia are a step backwards, a step towards international de-unification. Next thing you’ll know, each American state will be its own country if we’re not careful. (We’re looking at you in particular, Texas.)

Not until recently (well, recently if you’re looking at the big scheme of things) were African Americans almost entirely accepted and integrated into international society and given the full privilege to all human rights. That goes the same for women and other formerly discriminated groups (which are still discriminated to some extent, but the discriminators are light in number and are rarely ever taken seriously).
Yes, I assume attempting unification and a universal understanding is definitely worth the time and effort (even if it doesn’t work out, at least you’ll die knowing you tried to make a difference), but not very many people would actually take the time and effort to attempt something of that nature, or, more likely, they would in small doses and allow it to leak into the consciousness of others, as unnoticed as they would continue to be in their noble venture.

Again, unless the person is selfishly looking for fame, they’ll die happy knowing they did the right thing.
Chances are that, in my life, I’m not going to take any drastic steps towards change. Instead, I’ll assist the process along by being as good a person as I can be, and as I said before, allowing that attitude and initiative to seep into the consciousness of others around me. In my life, I do wish to inspire others to be as good a person as they can be, and I do wish to gain at least slight recognition for it, but fame is far too much to ask for.
Being a Good Samaritan and being good to others deserves recognition and respect, but should never be expected to come with fame. Thinking in those terms is the wrong way to think. A selfish way to think, and a mindset that will get you nowhere in life as you feel unrecognized and deserving of more for what you do, when in fact it was never about fame and what you ‘deserve.’ It was about being the best you could be and getting satisfaction out of that very fact.

That’s not to say I disagree with what those drastically Good Samaritans do to make the world a better place, its just to say that you don’t have to do those things in order to do recognizable good for the world.
