Want a better world? Become a better you.
Ever since I was little I wished that everybody could just be happy and that the whole world was a happy place. Decades later nothing has changed, I still feel the same but definitely learned that it’s easier said than done. I mean what can you do? Corrupt politics where your input hardly matters, wars around the world fought for the interest of few but to the detriment of the masses, environmental destruction on a crazy scale, a media incapable of keeping you informed with the truth, and so on. So what can you do? They say, there are plenty of things you can do like vote, protest, comment, and discuss.
The problem with that is, that those things only work in a just, fair, and honest society. once those qualities are missing from a society, nothing that follows matters. So, then what, what can I do? Simply don’t participate in things that are not real and go back to square 1, which is yourself. Your temple is the only thing that is truly real, so do your part and make that temple as beautiful as possible. And if everybody works on themselves and their own well-being, we will have that beautiful world. Because in the end, it will come down to each individual and their individual actions.
There wouldn’t be any corrupt politics if the corrupt politician was strong enough to say “No keep your money, I will NOT sell out my people”. There wouldn’t be a polluted river if the CEO would say”Hell no we’re NOT dumping that in the river!”. There wouldn’t be any fake news if the news anchor would refuse to tell lies. And there wouldn’t be any racism or wars over religions if people would actually practice what they preach.
We’re living in a world of clowns where everybody likes to blame someone else for all the craziness in this world. Time for each of us to take individual responsibility, practice proper self-care, and become the best version of ourselves.
Want a better world? Become a better you.
