One day, a man found himself thinking, 

“What is my purpose in life?” 

“Was I just created to exist and live by the rules forced upon me? ” or

“Am I to be manipulated into thinking that money is everything in life and without it I cannot achieve my dreams.”

And “can I even dare to dream in a world overrun by rapacity and hate?”

“What can I?, a tiny speck in billions do to make the world a better place?”

The answers that came to him were surprisingly simple,

They were,

His purpose is to coexist peacefully among his fellow human beings and not to belittle the unfortunate and neither should he praise the wicked. 

Yes, money does help one achieve their dreams but it not everything. As long as one can find peace and happiness in little things they do, they can live a content and a fulfilling life.

Rapacity and hate will exist in the world but change starts with one man, one has to believe in the good of humanity and one should not give in to the vices that often threaten to consume us.

I can change the world by first changing myself, I can start influencing other people’s lives for the better by being a positive example in society, by performing kind deeds, by not indulging in execrable thoughts about a fellow human being, by accepting every individual for who they are, by not judging people because they are different, by measuring my words before I speak and I will patiently wait for the day when the world shall become a kinder, nicer, radiant and a sublime place to live.
