be the change I would want to see in this world

I have lived my life thus far becoming just that. Remember though that the world is the way it is because that’s what it wants to be. When you become what you want to see in the world you in a sense make it your enemy by pitting yourself against it. I don’t view it as my enemy but it seems to have taken that stand against me. By choosing to live by a certain set of values that has not been widely adopted or may even be frowned upon you make yourself the outsider. I believe I have always been an outsider so some of the side effects didn’t harm me as much. People want to be helped but they want it done their way on their terms which often times is not the ‘right’ way to help them. Sometimes you have to be outside the problem, outside their stress and temper flares to reshape it into something better. This is hard for them to fully understand. I think that is basically the world’s way of baiting you back in to its hustle and bustle. In order for this whole thing to work we all have to change and create a new world for ourselves while leaving the old one behind.
