There’s a pattern I keep seeing, especially online where someone steps up to do something different, tries to shift the culture or challenge the norm, and instead of support, they get bombarded with demands. “Why don’t you do more?” “You should fix X too” As if trying to change anything means you’re now responsible for everything. As if one person is supposed to carry the entire system on their back. This reflects a deeper problem: people constantly externalize responsibility. They expect change to come from someone else—some leader, some influencer, some movement, some system. Rarely from themselves.

It’s the same mindset that keeps people trapped in cycles of dependency on authority—whether it's politicians, celebrities, or “visionaries.” They wait. They comment. They criticize. But they rarely start. The agent of change is expected to be prophetic, to know all, fix all, and be everything for everyone meanwhile the crowd stays seated, watching. This is why systems of power persist. Not because they’re strong, but because most people won’t act unless someone gives them permission. That’s why even with all the information and tools we have, so many still cling to illusions of saviors—presidents, parties, parliaments—as if those constructs ever had people’s true interests at heart. This isn’t a call to be apolitical. It’s a call to stop waiting for permission. Stop demanding prophecy. Start becoming the kind of person who acts, even without recognition, even when it’s imperfect. Especially when it's imperfect.

Criticism is easy. Creation is hard. Most people never cross that line. You want a better world? Start with yourself. Build with those around you. No one's coming to save you. There’s no prophecy. There’s just action.
