A deep question to think about...and it was running through my head during INSANITY'S PURE CARDIO...in the end I couldn't catch my breath for two reasons...one for the physical ass whipping I was getting from a DVD and two because changing the world is not an easy thing to do....but here goes.
If I could change one thing about the world...I would give everyone the natural ability to ask themselves "How will this action, or words, be received by others?" We don't think enough of other people. In our aggressive climbs to the top, in our ultrafast walk or drives to work, in our cars, behind our iphones, between our headsets, behind our email addresses and text numbers, and facebook names...We say, and do, and look and purposely disconnect and disconnect and disconnect... "How was that shoulder check received by the person I just ran into?" "How was that cut in line received?" "How was the lane blocking, that newspaper stealing, that tip shorting, that dog kicking, that kid scolding, that mouthing off, that face slapping, that racial profiling, that gay rights stealing, that sexism based hiring, that snide comment, that back stabbing, that envy, that cheating, that crowd pushing, that web bullying..." The list goes on...but if those people had just a little bit more human compassion, a little more empathy...well...the world might be a little bit better of a place. And now I can breathe again.

I've been searching for the supposed article here, but nothing was attached! Well, it may sound cliche but I hope that if people would want some changes in this world, we need to acknowledge that change start from people. Yes, changes start from us that's why we need to exert time and effort for changes to take place. Please take note that we can never change something if we can't make several changes on ourselves first. That's something that we need to keep in our mind, and I am pretty sure that all of us can do it!
