A three point plan to solve everything

*

It may seem a hopeless situation - but that is despair talking. In fact everything can be sorted out, if only we are sensible about things. 

I offer you a three point plan of action.

*

1. If we simply start-out from a different place - not this place - then things become straightforward.

2. If the people who start-out are different people - and not these people we see around us, certainly not them! - then we ought to be able to deal with these matters.

3. Different people, starting from a different place would certainly be useful - but even without these, victory could so easily be ours if only people wanted different things than people want. 

*

Really, everything falls into place with simply this: the world's problems are formidable, but soluble, if only things were not as they are but as we would prefer them to be. 

I would like you to remember that - and work towards it by every means possible.

Starting from the wrong place and with all the wrong kind of people; that is, people who don't actually want what you want them to want - organize the situation to get someplace much better.

*

The cunning trick is to use those people who don't want something to persuade - or coerce if necessary - all the other people who don't want it either to do it anyway. 

It is all a matter of subtle analysis and the precise application of leverage, and it all comes tumbling down - or rather builds itself into something wonderful...

*

It is perfectly simple, we simply need to change people's fundamental motivations. 

That is all!

That would work! 

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Ladies and gentleman - I thank you.
