Birgitta Jónsdóttir: Yeah, I think so. But I’m a chronic optimist. Whenever something goes wrong I see opportunities. I don’t know how many times I speak to people in the States and they’re all, “We can’t change anything.” As soon as we allow ourselves to believe that things are fixed then they’re unchangeable. But there is absolutely nothing fixed. If you want to be aware of how to change a society, hear this, and whomever you ask to help you facilitate change, remind them about this: Crises are great, and the only time for real and proper change. But the key is timing. If you want something done, you’ve got to do it immediately. Those of us that are willing to do stuff on behalf of the greater good or not just for personal reasons, we just have to be much quicker and much more prepared. Because you never know when a crisis is going to come. You might not see signs, and once it happens you have to be prepared. takepart/article/2013/10/17/how-wikileaks-changed-my-country-forever
