No One Thinks of Changing Themselves
“What would you change?”
When I was younger, my entire class was asked this exact question
As you can imagine the typical answers were to end world hunger, poverty and to diminish all pain from the Earth
I remember saying something along the lines of that as well
Now,
I would change the way people view themselves and others
Leo Tolstoy once said, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, no one thinks of changing himself.”
This shouldn’t be to the point of self-criticism
Not to the point where you overanalyze a small act that those like myself do
However if more people, examples being heroes in a story, looked at the way they handle or approach situations it can be seen
So clearly seen
That so many disasters could be prevented by such a simple act
That many times you play part in your chaos
