If we can, should we affect change?

I see with the changes in the world we are currently seeing, some of us must wonder if we should change things just because we can and want change. It may seem like an odd question in the face of facts, but as a moderate conservative, the fewer the changes (quite often) the better. As well, the idea of unintended consequences, the unimaginably complicated machinations which work social, legal, and moral human and natural orders, and the generally chaotic nature of the human factor (how things change just because humans are involved), change becomes quite tenuous on an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual level.

The answer is simple, in spite of all of that. We are lead to improve things, or try, by our natural gifts from God. Beyond that, should we hear and choose to follow the words of God and the living word through Christ both via the Holy Ghost, we are commanded to try to bring heaven to earth as we may in our imperfect yet loved and loving way.

In practical terms, there is this. I cannot know if this is real, staged by angle, or just outright hacked. What I can say is this, "What if?". Yes, affecting change is within our grasp and can be thunderously wonderful.
