change the world.
an ambiguous statement.
from an environmentalists point of view changing the world means a better and healthier and cleaner planet.
from a humanitarians point of view, changing the world means a better future of the human race, one that leads a life of diginity and without the ephemeral peace of mind that is being thrown at us.
a communist may want an all for one one for all lifestyle, while a fashion guru takes it on their head to teach the fine art of clothing to the less fortunate masses.
for a student changing the world may mean protests and marchs, for a sadist the end of his hedonism.
but to one individual changing the world can simply mean taking with a smile an inadvertent trod on one's foot on a crowded bus,
wiping off the slush stains with no disregard to the car that took no care for the pedestrian,
picking up a discarded chocolate wrapper while watching the children munch on in glee,
getting caught in the rain to help a neighbour take in the groceries mindless of your new leather slippers,
giving up a seat for an old woman regardless of the half hour journey to be completed standing
chasing a plastic bag along a college road to drop it into a bin happy of the laugh others have at the expense of your silliness
changing the world is just a quiet thing,
just for your own pleasure.
