A friend of mine once told me that the only constant in life is change. Change is happening all around us, day and night, every hour and every second. Sometimes we realise, some other times we do not realise, because we are too busy to look around ourselves. Change is part of nature and all creations of God on earth. If we accept that change is part of nature, a process, how can we accept the evolution of change?
For example, development and evolution are long-term processes in the humanitarian field. I am asking you, does evolution entail innovation, renewal, pioneering? Is evolution ever monotonous?
The other day I was discussing with a friend Darwin’s theory. My friend was saying that according to Darwin’s theory, everything starts as an amoeba, and then becomes a monkey and then it becomes a human being. In my view, the philosophy of the development of the evolving process of change has to be put in the gearbox of every civil society and humanitarian organisation.
Whether amoeba becomes a monkey, or a fish becomes a horse is not the issue. In my opinion, to meet the community’s needs, with our expertise, we have to change our amoeba organisational stage into a horse type delivery. Civil society will always be innovative, dynamic and forward-looking. Our work should not be owned by an individual group, party, religious cult or government. It should be community owned and driven to guarantee the safe delivery of the evolutionary process of change.
If one group dictates the process, amoeba can never become man, as this is against the laws of nature. We must go back to the basics, at community grass root level and allow them own the idea of developing the evolutionary process of change to see the pioneering effect of community owning their cause.
