I personally understand your ideas and I also suppose that a lot of things are already changing in the development world but I still make the question.

Change for what?

I have been a seeker for change all my life. Have been for more than thirty years in the challenge everywere I go or whatever I do.

But now I am convinced that if we don't make that change in every aspect of our lives we will be always looking for change outside and will surely have a very blind spot that has to do with our implications.

I think that Obama's challenge is being himself and becoming not the president of the USA but a person able to listen what reality has to tell him and being in that place he will be hearing more and more the interest of those who are not willing for change.

So, that puts us more and more in need for facing development as an empty word, if the real people who is in need for a change are not those who make it.

Blessings,
A 56 year old person that is not expecting that the change comes from up there.
