'let's just perform life' - well put.....one must change one's self before one can change others...the best way to bring about that change is through example....

A Reformer reforms himself first before reforming others. Gandhiji became a role model for others, as what he preached he practiced in many ways.

When a thinker performs life, he becomes a reformer! That is all. See, those who have turned the tables are all indivudals and not a group of people. Who was Marx, Gandhiji, Rajaram Mohan Rai, Einstein, Edison, Swami Vivekanand, Christ, Sage Vyasa etc? They never needed the help of a group or the support of a society to proclaim truth, to proclaim the ideals, to set forth a reformation (if you wish to call it like that) . It is all a silent work. The world followed these individuals. Where there is ideal and truth, honesty and sincerity, there is performance of life and the voice will certainly reach the farthest corners of the universe. No microphone is required for any propaganda. Only people like Hitler and Veerappan need the support of a gang for their survival. We need a reflection.
