Shaping the World

With the many charitable organizations and good intentions in the world, one might become confused we he turns on the evening news. Where did we go so wrong? This nation holds some very high minded ideals about how to treat people, yet every time we turn around we are faced with a horror story of society.

Is the problem we are doing too much? No, that's a silly notion. There is plenty more to do? So, is it that we as a society are doing too little? No, that concept is as fallible as the first.

Perhaps the underlining issue is that we are trying to change the world around us. Perhaps, in order to make true change, in the way we want it, is by changing ourselves. Meaning, instead of blaming someone else for our issues we take a deeper look at ourselves.

What is it about me that I can change?
