On waking others, as you stated we cannot break another's free will. I have went through a similar situation with my brother as well. He is to some extent awaken to the reality we are in but he has distractions that he hangs on to. Some are friends and some are just old habits. One thing I realize is, I can only say in the moment what should be said. Once I push cross the boundaries where I am over thinking what to say I see that I lose the communication with him. We are all programmed to some extent to watch out for the bible pushers so we have a shut off point of how much we want to hear. The best thing is to live by example. That is the best testament to anyone around you. This then allows you to grow and progress for others because it aids others as you aid yourself. It is similar to a vibration. The more you resonate the more that resonance affects others.
On taking action in our current situation on this planet earth, I say if you see the problem that means you are the one to fix it. How you choose to fix it is what you must come to grasp with. We all are able in our own way. Usually this again will cause you to make major changes in your life. Others that saw the problem will eventually start coming out the woodworks to do their part. Still we cannot wait around for others to take action. That may be a long and painful wait.
