Be the change

The world needs to change. All the hate, all the injustice, all the violence, all the war, going side by side with no humanity, no rights, no dignity, no quality of life. We are on the breaking point.
The world needs to change. I used to believe that we should all strive to make a huge difference in the world. In parts, I still do. This is the mindset we should have in order to actually have breakthroughs that will move us into a better stage. But it’s not very easy to do such a difference, it will be impossible to most of us, as a matter of fact.
I strive to be a better and kinder person every day, every moment of my life. I feel for what happens, I cry when faced with my powerless situation to actually solve anything. I have to believe that there is something, anything we can do to make things better, to make this change the world so urgently needs. I kept feeling powerless for a long time until a very dear teacher of mine tole me: “it’s beautiful and inspiring to see that you preach to change the world and actually be the change you want to see in the world”.
I’m not pretending to be anything more than I am right now. But I can hope that by being so passionate about making things better I will motivate people around me to also be passionate about making things better. I can wish that by showing kindness and no tolerance for injustices I will motivate people around me to also show kindness and no tolerance for injustices. I can dream a dream of a better world, so people around me can also have this dream.
So I propose we follow Gandhi, and become the change we want to see in the world. Be kind. Be polite. Be loving. Be accepting. Be a light in such dark times. Specially with and for those full of hate.
Start this change by having, spreading and multiplying hope. Start it now.
