Systemic change vs individual change

Individual change—becoming a better person, examining your beliefs—is real and necessary but cannot substitute for collective action that reshapes the systems within which we live; focusing only on personal transformation while structures remain unchanged is a form of self-deception. The question is not either/or but how your inner work connects to movements that actually alter the material conditions of other people's lives.
