The Greatest Joke Ever Told

Sitting down reviewing one's life can be a rather funny thing, especially in a time of peril. We tend to think we are the victims of the world around us. We tend to believe that we didn't have a choice. Certainly, there are forces beyond us that can do damage, but that is not what I am speaking of. I am talking about the more common forms of infliction.

From an early age you were taught to look around you for the one to blame. From an early age you were taught to accuse. But where was the wisdom? Where was the notion to take a look at your own actions? Instead of trying to correct the world why not correct the one person you have direct control over? Indeed, our teachers need to educate, but education needs application and only you can apply an education. By this I mean that when you understand how you work and why you do the things you do, you will see that it is you who creates most of what you call problems. And at that time a great miracle will have happened, because from that point on, you will have the choice of making more problems or choosing to make something different.
