We crawl before we walk. We learn arithmetic before algebra. We must fix ourselves before we can fix others. I learnt this meaning of life through this poem, the writings of an Anglican Bishop:
When I was young and free and my
Imagination had no limits, i dreamed of
changing the world;
As I grew older and wiser I realized the
world would not change.
And I decided to shorten my sights
somewhat and change only my country.
But it seemed immovable.
As I entered my twilight years, in one last
desperate attempt, I sought to change
only my family, those closest to me, but
alas they would have none of it.
And now here I lie on my death bed and
realize 9perhaps for the first time) that if
only i'd changed myself first, then by
example I may have influenced my
family and with their encouragement
and support I may have bettered my
country, and who knows I may have
changed the world.
This is what this poem is all about. Changing form the inside out, starting from "the man in the mirror" (this is taken form Michael Jackson's song).If you want to make a change in your life, the place to begin is with yourself, not with your parents, or your boyfriend, or your lecturer. All changes begins in us, it's inside out, not outside in.
