Change.
We stick our hand in the water, pull it out, and see no difference.  We attempt to make changes in the world, the world moves around us, and we feel like a hand in water.
Can we change the world?
Throughout history, there are those who stand up to the system and provide resistance to the way things are.  The few, the rich and powerful, take advantage of the majority, pollute the environment, both physical and mental, and live in a world of self-interest.  The rebels stand up, but find their leaders soon changing sides, as the role of leadership causes them to lose focus and get a view of the other world of money and power.  The goals of the resistance no longer shine so bright.
The rebels fight on, winning only a few battles.  Their main purpose seems to be to put up a resistance.  They make it more difficult for governments and large corporations to work their ways of self-interest.  They are the cog in the machine that takes time to remove.  Change? Maybe not.  The model of history shows us to be only a wall, but what an important role we play.
Without that barrier the minority in power throughout the world and in history would make any decision without delay.  In the modern world, thanks to the resistance, any action of self-interest takes weeks, months, or years of deceptive practices.  These practices cost money.  The resistance works.
We may not change the world, but we slow it down and brighten the colors. 
Who knows.  One day, a new social consciousness may bloom in the morning sun and as workers of social change wake up for another day of hard work… a golden smile may finally stay forever.
