Being emotional looking at difficult situations, i have always left, that the world needs to be changed. "Will someone be born again to change it? " is often questioned in my mind. Sometimes, at the hype of emotions, i would even feel, why don't i step in to change the world???
Giving a thought for a while i would stay calm and say to myself, "Hey common, the world is so huge, making a difference is not so easy". Being a student in Catholic institutions, some little services, i was compelled to do - it could be considered as an effort to change the society to a minimum possible extent.
But when i started working out on my better self, i realized, day in and day out i had to try hard to change myself, that it looks changing myself is equally challenging and sometimes even more difficult than changing the world.
Learning Wisdom and applying it in Life, is not easy. One cannot play fake in changing oneself that unless a 100% effort is put it, nothing worthwhile comes out of it.Everyday is a learning process, the more you feel you are good enough, the more you have to learn and the more challenges you have to face.
People would say, you are so good at one point of time, and the same would say that you are indifferent and selfish the other day. There is nothing so good to be felt happy, when we are given a good remark or to be felt sorry when a bad one steps in. Not that it doesn't mean anything to anybody. Since it is continuous process, it is not worth to feel happy or to regret on it. But should be considered just a waste of time, analyzing what and how others think or feel about you.
Though, it looks simpler not to react, or to be worried on other's views, working on it is never easy. It might even take a life time to get to such a state of maturity. But striving for it can be done, and at times, we might feel its benefits too.
As a Human, you are nothing greater than any other Mammal is a real fact. Though it looks like a submissive word, wisdom knocks the people who has humility in heart, mind and Soul.
Using Domination, Dictatorship and bossing someone, we never prove ourselves superior to the other. Unfortunately, for generations after generations people think that these are important traits, when followed gives good results. May be it would have given for a short period of time. But for long, it only results in hurt - not only to others, even to Self.
Best Example - King Napoleon
The advantage of changing self rather than changing the world is, as you go, you keep influencing people and they change looking at you, without you giving an effort.
Also, your views, the way you see things keeps on giving you an inner satisfaction of everyday life.
It gives you better confidence in facing life's challenges and you will feel an increase in self respect, and not pride.
Well,all i realize is that, i am still a very young beginner and to grow in Wisdom, i should always remember to stay HUMBLE and this word will make me grow, when i practice it in everyday Life.
