Changing the World

As a youngster I loved to get involved in the philosophical discussions. Not unlike other young people I was bent on changing the world.

Today, I read much on philosophy, ecology, agriculture, anthropology and religion, but the thing I have realized is that we can change only ourselves.

Our minds and bodies are like tools that constantly are in need of sharpening and honning. We can change the World one person at the time -- ourselves, it is arrogant to start otherwise.

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
