You Can’t Change the World

You can’t do it. You absolutely, most certainly, cannot solve world hunger, establish world peace, or create a international movement for any cause. It’s impossible. You can try, but you won’t get anywhere. These issues are impossible to solve and you would be foolish to think you could do it….by yourself.

“By yourself” is the key phrase here. You, working individually, without any other assistance, can’t do shit to change the world. You can make a difference in someone’s life for sure, maybe by providing a meal for them, buying them groceries or clothes, or taking time out of your day to sit with them and comfort them. However, if you’re aiming higher than that and desiring to truly make a difference in the world as a whole, the probability of doing so is about….zero.

To change the world, you have to collaborate with others. This is where the saying “the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts” comes in. If you desire to change the world, join an organization that advocates for the things you are passionate about. If there isn’t one, create one. Get others involved in this change. In doing so, you can change the world. Not alone, but with the help of like-minded individuals we can make incredible differences in our world. So get involved somewhere and be part of “the whole” that is impacting this world in unforeseen ways.
