Consider Changing Yourself Before Changing the World!

It's funny that almost every other individual wants to change the world and world is still the same!



Well..Let's Talk Talking Simple..!! ;-)

-> World = 7.125 billion individuals (2013).
-> Almost everyone wants to either Change the World or See some Sort of Change in the World.
-> Quite high momentum, then why almost all problems still persist? Why such a slow and/or negligible change that we see or come across. I think Kirchhoff's First Law can explain this pretty well, considering world as the point.
   k = 1 to n Σ Ik   ; n =7.125 bn,  Ik = Force that each individual employs :-)

-> Consider changing ourselves? With enough self control and/or self awareness we can at least change ourselves.
-> If each one of us changes oneself, world automatically changes.


This reminds me of an incident that happened a few months ago. I was in conversation with somebody over tea in a self-service cafeteria . (S)he was really annoyed of the way people leave paper cups on the table instead of throwing them down in the dustbin. What happened a few minutes later, was a real eye opener for me(not that this was the first time I experienced something like this). We were about to leave the place. The person slowly and craftily left his/her cup on the table and started moving away. I was quite amazed, may be it slipped off his/her mind, benefit of doubt, you know. But I could not resist my astonished, prolonged, look alternating between the person and the cup. What I did notice was the body language indicating a wily, wilful tactic. May be I am wrong but that's not the point.
