Revolution or evolution

The seventh and last question is: What revolution would you lead?


With revolution comes aggression and violence. One revolution is rarely enough to change society. This was the case with the French revolution, The American revolution , more recently the Arab Spring in Egypt,...

So I prefer an evolution. It's more gradual and it takes a lot longer, but there are less casualties.

This evolution should be about everybody being able to follow their passion.

I am not saying because I am a member of the LYL community which is all about following your passion. No I am saying this because I am a Belgian. Belgium is the country with the highest percentage of people on anti-depressants in the world. I guess this means Belgians are the least happy with their lives.

This puts a lot of pressure on the Belgian social security system and therefore the taxpayer because the government pays a big part of the actual price of the medication.

Ok, some people really need the medication because their body can't produce all the chemicals it needs.  But I know a lot of people who lack the courage to change their lives. I am not saying that changing your live is easy. I know it isn't. But it beats being unhappy or taking pills for the rest of your life.

A bonus for changing you life and following your passion is that you are a more agreeable person to be around.

I like to travel and it always surprises me how friendly people in other countries are. Everybody always does their utmost to help us. I am ashamed to say that that is not always the case in Belgium.

So yes my "evolution" is really about convincing people to find their passion.
