Personally, I think articles like this one are the best, maybe the only, way to influence anyone. People who read this article, will share it, in one way or another.

In my million points of light theory, people are busy changing their little, tiny parts of the world all around the planet. The more often people read, hear or experience something new, the faster it spreads - from one person to the next. That is the reason, I've appreciated reading so many articles like this on Medium.

By now, these Medium articles have set off a million new points of light all pointing in the same direction. Someday, not soon, but someday we will reach the place where peace, harmony and good will reign on earth. And that is my answer to your question, "what opportunities exist on the other side in shared learning, strengthening relationships and improving our communities for a greater good?"
