How do you change the world?

Question

One act at a time?

Good morning. It's Monday - oh boy!

At any rate, many blessings to all of you today. I hope the work goes by quick and the leisure goes by slow.

This week try to give someone a hug every day.

Good grief. Judging from some of the responses let me clarify:

One act at a time and giving someone a hug everyday are both personal and not an attempt to change others. The change is within yourself by doing these things.

Answer 1

I'm off to work... almost had the monday blues... but not now. Thanks for the post, you've made my Monday better... I'll try to pass it along!

Answer 2

I don't think we have to change the world, as there's nothing wrong with it, but the people that habitates the world!!! Therefore the question should be "how can we change the people"...unfortunately I don't have the answer despite I've been thinking many nights before sleeping what to do!...Maybe it's the music (maybe not), but I believe Jazz is a very calming genre and gives you the peace within!

Good Luck

Answer 3

Good morning ! Yes, one act at a time. I try to make choices that impact the world gently. I volunteer my time to a worthy cause or someone in need each week and I hug someone everyday. I admit in part because I like getting hugged back!

Best wishes for a great day back at ya.

Answer 4

We cannot.
Because the world is run by someone much more powerful than any of us.
Satan the devil...he owns it for now,
(2 Corinthians 4:4) among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.

Otherwise, how could Satan have offered him, Jesus, ALL the kingdoms of the world for just ONE act of worship?

(Matthew 4:8-9) Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.”

UNLESS HE TRULY OWNED IT.

Answer 5

You can't change the world because to do so would mean to change people. And no matter how you (or even they, for that matter) try, you can't change people. People are the way they are, and that's the way they always will be. Humanity's already on a downward spiral toward its inevitable destruction. It's been that way since the dawn of man. And if somehow, if every human being can stop being individuals and start thinking, feeling, and acting exactly the same, we cannot save ourselves, and cannot save the world. Thusly, it is useless to try.

Answer 6

Blessings to you as well. You change the world one person at a time, one day at a time, without even knowing it.
Be yourself. Love others. Treat them the way you want to be treated.

I have had former students come to me 20 years later and tell me about something I said to them or did for them years ago when they were in my 3rd grade classroom that meant so much to them, and I don't even remember it.

Answer 7

Good morning to you, too! Happy Monday. (HA!)

I am changing the world by stopping the cycle of violence, as least with me. I try every day to make my part of the world better for me being in it. Its not much, but if everyone did the same, wouldn't things be better?

Answer 8

The Almighty God said : "The believing men and the believing women , they are guardians of each other , enjoin good and forbid evil... "God attaches primary importance to enjoining good and forbidding evil " as a duty for men and women. For he knows that if it were fulfilled all the other duties , easy or hard , will be accomplished. That is because "enjoining good and forbidding evil" is a call for Islam , it regains the rights of the oppressed and opposes tyrants

Answer 9

Give ,if we give more . People would build hope in the world and their lives.
GOD BLESS and Shalom

Answer 10

One person at a time. Starting with me.
