REFLECTION: Change The World

"How can I change the world?" asked a disciple to his Master.

"You can't! Except, you change your country."

"How can I change my country?"

"No way! except, you change your family and neighbors."

"Then, how can I change my family and neighbors?"

"Impossible! Except, you change yourself."

"How can it happen?"

"Just accept yourself. Be happy with yourself as you are."

(Anthony de Mello, SJ., "One minutes Nonsense")
