Bridges Between Us

As we all know, present day society is comprised of multitudes of various entities, including individuals, families, groups, organizations, institutions, academia, micro enterprises, small businesses, large corporations, non-profit establishments, artists, bureaucrats, government agencies, governments and nations, as well as many other types of bodies. Each of these entities engage in activities and carry out actions that are influenced by its situational context and its goals and objectives. Such actions and activities span the range from passive and indiscernible to the distinct, focused, and forceful. This myriad of actions and activities directly or indirectly influence, impact, and connect the entities engaged in them. This myriad of actions and activities include those that uphold and advance the principles of societal progress and those actions and activities that hinder those principles. The conscious, continual, and relentless efforts of the entities in society that do believe in advancing societal progress to understand and identify which actions and activities are consistent with the principles of societal progress, the continual and relentless efforts of such entities to support, sublimely or overtly, and to the extent its possible for each, to inform about and to engage in actions and activities that uphold and advance the principles of societal progress, is what can define the dominant trajectory in society. Such conscious, continual, and relentless efforts, despite challenges and setbacks, can transition society to more progressed states. Also, that purpose, mission, and struggle itself then becomes a motivator that can rival multitudes of other human drives.
