How many examples are there in world history where the powers that have run a society for generations realize that their ways have become inefficient and are out of date, so they invite the next generation to take control? Power brings money, money buys more power. But when the power becomes concentrated into a small group of wildly wealthy, people become restless. Then change needs to come from resistance and pressure. Often, the resistance is met with repression. If the oppression is met with violence, then change will come, but the new boss will look like the old boss. If change comes through non-violence and truth, then a new world can be born. We are facing those choices now. Persist.
