The world is the world is the world. So many people want to change the world and it seems... it seems that the more obsessed one is with changing the world, the less concerned they are with changing themselves. These seem to be mutually exclusive. Social reformers have killed more people than anyone else... ever. Think about it. I'd steer clear of people who are passionately after changing the world.
Here's (hopefully) a wake up call; YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD! Well... we all change the world all the time but it's like one of those child's toys that you can pull out of shape- it always springs back to what it was after you release it. Perhaps I should have said, 'you cannot change the world DIRECTLY but you can change it indirectly... by example. Still... even were you (on the positive side) a Buddha, a Jesus Christ, or similar, even if you changed the lives of billions of people, you still wouldn't change more than half of the world and more people would hate you than would ever hate a less notable figure. On the negative side, even if you were a Stalin, or a Mao, or any one of a number of others... there have been quite a few, you still would, likely, only impact on the populace of your own nation and (usually) your neighboring nations and far more people would hate you, than would hate the positive influences. Ironically... it might be that the numbers are the same for both types.
