For everyone out there that
wishes to see a new and better world, you must follow the Mahatma Gandhi’s
advice and “be the change you wish to see in the world”. Nothing will be fixed and it will continue to
seem as if the whole world is broken, if you cannot first act upon your own
vision of what you think the world should be like. This is my vision of the world; it is not
perfect and likely not even right, but it is mine. Change is inevitable and will come. Though, if someone does not try to direct change
in the right direction, you will not see the change you wish to see. Each person must act on their own; separately
from each other. No one can change for
someone else. Each person must train
themselves and not wait for a leader to follow.
“I
learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in
the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has
imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an
invisible boundary; new, universal and more liberal laws will begin to
establish themselves around and within him…. In proportion as he simplifies his
life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not
be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your
work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”
- Henry
David Thoreau, Walden
