Some people want to change the world without first touring their homes. Saviors of the Fatherland, in tin armor, people who see only their own horizons, their dreams of greatness, but not their closest realities, do not see the daily humility where real gaps occur and the opportunity for real revolutions.
Leon Tolstoy rightly said that most people raise their voices to demand change in the world, yet very few are beginning to change. Because with a change in attitude and the silent courage that silences and advances, observes and acts, great transformations have begun.
- Ernest Hemingway once wrote on a very topical topic and wonders why there are people who.
- Upon reaching a position of authority.
- Have completely lost touch with reality and with the nearest needs.
- When the opportunity to do very good things for society presented itself.
- These people? in a specimen worthy of study.
Hemingway asked the question of what kind of infectious agent would cause corruption once power was reached. Why does someone with the ability to improve the world sometimes ruin everything?We propose a reflection on the subject.
“To change the world, yes, but to suit me. Will I change, of course, but only to meet my expectations and harmonize with my selfishness?We will start by talking about this kind of mentality, of those who, having reached the top, completely disconnect from the real problems until they dissolve into oblivion. In banality.
Greek mythology, always so wise, has perfectly reflected human character, its deadly sins and its psychological depths. Excessive ego, for example, called it “arrogance. ” They used this term when heroes, upon achieving fame, recognition, and wealth, crossed the line of ethics to reach the abyss of the criminal.
Pride can be really dangerous. When the hero dared to challenge the gods, showing his power through drunkenness and rude violence and unbridled selfishness, Nemesis, the goddess of justice, appeared; in this way, when the powerful and the corrupt were punished, everything returned to its subtle balance. However, in our reality, far from the spheres of Olympus, things are very different.
Those who come to power and aspire to change the world to meet their own needs are not always punished. On the contrary, flatterers, people who seize the opportunity and reinforce the powerful for common benefit will most likely appear. Consolidate the black arts and do it?
The world, therefore far from changing, remains a prisoner of this reality where needs and needs grow even more and, above all, the lack of hope in the face of the vacuum of justice.
In our society, we sometimes see really contradictory behaviors, there are people who defend and exalt the values of respect, equality and solidarity and, for their part, are experts in humiliating loved ones, there are also those who do not know how to see those who resort to professional projects, completely neglecting their families?
There is no doubt that each person sees and understands the world in his own way, however, those who def from what is really important are lost, who is not consistent with their words and actions creates a distorted and inconsistent reality, those are details that we must know and that certainly allow us to create a better world.
We propose a reflection on these dimensions, on these strategies with which to build a more positive and hopeful reality.
No one can create a better world if they do not care first about being a better person Should we purify the soul?The ego, the grudges, the mistrust, the envy and many other prejudices that we are not always aware of. It’s an inner journey, which, unfortunately, not everyone is prepared to undertake.
Collaborating with our communities, caring for the environment or being part of an NGO also means contributing to the common good, however, we cannot neglect tomorrow’s generations Educating well, educating with values so that today’s children are tomorrow’s adults capable of changing the world.
