yes, i believe so...
as modern society gradually develops indifference especially due to status, love and compassion may become key agents to bring about change. This is because they have the ability to awaken people's hearts and minds to the reality of a fading society. The lack of love and compassion nowadays slowly severs ties in various relationships among the people comosing the society. if love and compassion are encouraged and applied, they may bring about respect, understanding, unity, etc. serving as roots to positive values and eye-openers, they inspire the action of change within people by making them realize how much better society would be with their contributions.

love and compassion are feelings for other people. they can be considered synonymous to humanity. while in case of changing the society only leadership and assertiveness can attempt to change the society. many people belonging to a society cant take any deecision for themselves. they need someone to do so. the society can only change when people change the,mselves. compassion is showing care for others. one can improve life for others but cant teach a staunch headed person how to live life!!

DEFINITELY CAN~
For example, I was having hard time to forgive some people who hurt me or even annoy me with smth.
So I created one (maybe very strange) method to forgive them without having any "anger" or "hatred".
When someone hurts me, for example criticizes me, or someone annoys me in the bus with some noise he makes or anything else that i get mad, angry or i hate, i simply ask just one question from myself "Would you like to see this person to be dead?" And then i imagine him/her dead in my eyes. That time I feel compassion towards that person and sometimes I feel like I would die for him/her in case he/she needs help. And i say "No, i don't want this person to be dead".
That's how i change myself, that's how i forgive and get rid of any bad consequences that might happen.

Unfortunately fear and power are more influential and expeditious. Nevertheless, durable change is always brought about by love and compassion.

Very sure ! A change from darkness to light, from untruth to truth, from narrow mind to universal overview.

Absolutely.
There are few situations that have improved because people hated each other more...
