There was a time that I used to dream about this wonderful place in which I would feel perfect. There would be more happiness than sadness and more gain than loss; there would be understanding instead of condemnation and everyone would come together for what was right.
I was truly fed up with the world in which we live. I looked around and saw a world infested with greed, hatred, and self-loathing. People drove by others in need without thinking twice and we didn't give up our spare change in fear that they would only ask for more. We didn't trust, because the person alongside the road with the beat-up looking jacket might have a gun. We hear stories on the news not only of terrible accidents, but of human caused catastrophes.
It would be so easy to just try to forget that world exists and dive into your own life, whether that be work, the digital world, or something else entirely. However, that's not exactly a real option. I know plenty of people choose this tactic, but does it really accomplish anything?
So if you are feeling just as crumby about the world as I was awhile ago, then let me tell you about what I found.
I didn't discover magic, or a hidden riddle. There is no button that will make the world good. There is however, a mentality that can change everything.
