Question from the Internet:

“I want to change the world for the better, but I don’t know where to begin. How do I start?”

Throughout history, many tried to change the world. Even today, we see individuals and groups of people with great ideas and passion trying to change the world. And we keep failing to make the world a better place.

Why?

Because there is no “world”, the “world” is what we ourselves create through our attitude and relation to other people and Nature’s system. The “world” is a summary of all the intentions and actions we make creating a complex network of connections and interactions between us.

Thus when we want to change this “world” we need to change its most important component, which is us and the relation between us. We are all extremely important and active elements in this connection network, and we all have absolute mutual responsibility toward this whole network.

So if we feel the need for a change, we need to look at ourselves first and see how we can positively influence and improve this mutual network by changing ourselves.

Of course, on our own, we are powerless. But if at least a small group of people decide to start building a positive, Nature-like, finely balanced and mutually integrated network between them, their small “cell” can become a positive, healing part of the whole, introducing positive changes through the example they show.

This is how we can change the world for the better.
