Or, as demonstrated in Puerto Rico recently (and somewhat in Hong Kong, from what I hear), people are waking up and demanding more autonomy and self-rule but, and maybe for the first time ever, they are doing it mostly non-violently. Peaceful revolution! That's unprecedented. I put some thoughts on Facebook about that here.

We can either look outward and blame our environment for the problems we see or we can look inward and celebrate the light and growth that only we can control.

Society isn't really a "thing" beyond an emergent property of individual consciousnesses. As individuals, we can change the world the most by changing ourselves.
