What needs to be changed?A Story by Ashwin PandeyWe always talk about improvement, change in everything but what is actually needed to be changed?
Change is must. For every human gets bored with the same thing everyday.
We don't eat same food everyday, we change menus daily. We don't wear same clothes everyday, we don't like doing same things everyday even if we have to do it like going to work, study, etc. But we can change such things. Its under our control. Every human being have their own ideology about life, family, neighbour , state, country, world,etc. We feel offended or get hurt by someone else's ideology because its not the same as us or its completely opposite to ours. We try to change the person's ideology but ultimately fail to do so. Its completely out of question that whether or not our way is correct, its about we forcing the person to follow it which is wrong. Every individual has a right to live in his/her own way. The best way of spreading the idea is by following it. Mahatma Gandhi once said, " Be the change you want to see in the world". If the idea is really great, and one follows it and completely adapts it, many would follow it just by inspiration. Every human has a distinct aura around him/her. When great ideas are inculcated in oneself, the aura of the human being is alone capable of influencing others. But what if our own ideology is wrong? The aura will have a negative effect. We see the world as we are. If we always see bad qualities everywhere and want to change everything according to us, it is not possible. Change requires time and most importantly, INSPIRATION. And nowadays, we can see everyone want to change some or the other thing, whether its the system, people's behavior or anything. Even while most of us talk, we always criticize others and their ways of life. We always find our things better because of our ego. Even our ideas are better than some, it cannot be implied. The ultimate solution where we cannot even change anyone else is change ourselves. Changing ourselves doesn't means changing our ideas but to change our perception about others. We should understand everyone have a different situation altogether in their respective lives. If our way is correct, everyone will follow it someday after they experience everything. And if they are happy in their way, there is no need for anything.
One should change their own perception and try to change themselves. One should always see their own negative points and strive to improve them. We should strive to become better day by day. Everyone should always analyze their mind, thoughts. If the thought is corrected, actions will automatically be good. Our thoughts are the base for our actions. The reason for change we want to see is to have peace everywhere but peace all over can be achieved by making ourselves better. As Confucius said, " Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world." And if one constantly strives for one's own improvement, he/she will eventually develop righteousness in the heart because we can't lie to ourselves. © 2015 Ashwin PandeyAuthor's Note
