is it wrong to change something that would effect many?

[Zaiken]

im not saying that its possible to do but would one person changing something that would effect a large number of people be wrong? even if it seems like it would be better for all of them, would it be unethical to do something that effects many without asking every single one? i guess this could be called playing god, but still if it would improve the lives of many would it not be worth it.

Is there a way to know it will change for better? What if they hated it and wished nothing had changed? Maybe the question is not whether it's wrong, but is it necessary?

Choices by anyone even one person can have enormous significance for the good of humanity. (Jesus, Buhdda etc etc. One man can visit unspeakable horror on mankind Hitler, Stalin.

Our own choices are also imporatant and the imporatance goes on long after we die. The buttefly affect . GOOGOL IT

I've struggled with this dilemma for a long time and have pretty much boiled it down to a rule of thumb.

If an action would bring about more love in the world, it is favorable.

Love here is in the universal sense. Pretty much you have to rely hardcore on your own subconscious/higher being. I feel that if you shoot for love, universality, oneness, as a goal, then you're doing the right thing.
