Right TIME in LIFE
What is the right TIME in LIFE for constructive action?

General:

1 Everyone experiences happy/unhappy feelings (major/minor), depending on individual
   circumstances
2 Everyone has empathy or sympathy for others, again depending on individual circumstances
3 In everyday life, we interact and share our thoughts and feelings in person--and online. Such 
  "Moments of Humane Oneness" create true happiness as all the superficiality disappears. Nothing is
  any more fake or artificial! In this fast paced "me-world", don't we need new solutions?
  For too long, haven't we postponed thinking about such obvious issues?

No empty words; instead, a few ( 5 ) concrete actions:

1 Form groups of college students to talk about studies, jobs; practical solutions
2 Form groups from Private and government offices...AND --> How about co-workers selecting
   and helping talented colleagues (good abilities/potential) for a fast-trek development in their
   current field of work? OR they can help such promising individuals for higher education and more    challenging careers in other professions. The selected lucky few, on achieving success, should and    would hold hands of their past colleagues and help them  improve their work conditions or overall
   quality of life for their families and so on!
   Utopian? Impractical? Why not discuss/try?
3 Another "crazy" idea! (ideal?)--> Form groups of African-American students; encourage and
   support them to devise simple, local plans to help poor, needy students in Africa
4 Local surveys of citizens on how to improve physical and mental health care, e.g. how health-
   givers and "health-takers" can benefit from each others' experience and wisdom

5 Grass-roots Philosophy/"Politics" of organizing more constructive and cooperative actions to
   address local, state and national issues.........

A few questions for local communities or neighborhoods:
     
      1 What is the extent of poverty in your area?
      2 How many children go to bed hungry?
      3 What do you think is the standard of education in your community?
      4 How to contact thoughtful, dynamic teachers?
      5 Which are the known NGO's in your area? How do we contact some of
         their leaders?
      6 In the context of national and state problems, what kind of controversial
         issues you face locally in your area?
         Are people interested in state, national and international issues?
      7 How is healthcare in your area?
      8 In terms of daily life, culture etc, is there any tension between the
         traditional and the modern?
      9 What are the current breaking/heartbreaking news locally in your area?

         (10 We hope the questions did not tire you? How many intellectuals you
           know who won't be tired by such questions?) /;O).

         ( More later. You are welcome to suggest your own questions.
           Only serious questions, please! Only your "well-respected
           editor" has the right to be funny! Don't you ever forget that
           this is not a true democracy! Muted voices? Ask Trumputin!!   /;o).

The key is to develop an atmosphere of genuine concerns for the Common Good and build temples of
True Democracy!_-->A new Universal Faith! 
Surely, there are good people everywhere and undoubtedly, they have many simple, practical ideas! Let us all share them!
Also, why not approach leading local corporations, foundations and NGO's for help/"guidance"?
This naturally leads to one question:how can an INDIVIDUAL be part of these concrete, new dynamic ideas and actions?  
Let us all come up with an answer/s to this PRACTICAL QUESTION!      |:-}.
