I’ve spoken in the past about people and the bad things they do, one of the great things about the internet and a username is it allows me to discuss my private life without friends and family knowing.
Anyway back to bad people, maybe it’s a flaw, maybe I’m too optimistic but I find it almost impossible to actually hate someone, not because I’m a nice person, I am, but thats not it. It’s because I believe that all people are capable of change, and are capable of being better people.
My sisters boyfriend is a drug using scumbag, and yet I can’t hate him because he has the potential to change. You could argue that I can hate him because he isn’t trying to change, but if I do that then am I not just saying I don’t think he can change? And if I don’t think he can then why should I think anyone else can?
What do you guys think? Do you believe everyone can change?
While reading some of the various blogs I check on a daily basis I came across this quote from the late John F. Kennedy.
“The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life.”
I think if he were alive today he would be saddened but not suprised that while we still find news ways to ‘abolish human life’ and continue to do so on a daily basis we have yet to really do anything to ‘abolish human poverty’. Not to discredit those who do help because they do their part and they do it well, but those who could help most, those who could have most effect still do nothing more than talk about it.
This isn’t a pet cause of mine, I’m not about to turn into Bono and start with the protests and demonstrations and public outcry. It’s just a quote that I though demonstrated how little things really change.
I started thinking last night, and this is a thought I’ve had in the past. Since I know I’m real, my thoughts are real, I feel real, I am real. Isn’t it entirely possible, that the world is here because of me, maybe its here to give me something to exist in.
That probably sounds like ego, to believe yourself the centre of the world and maybe it is.
But what if…?
If it’s true, isn’t it then possible that I could change my world? If it is possible how do I do it? It cant be that easy or I would have done it by now maybe if only by accident?
If I could change it how would I do it?
and what would I change?
