Have you ever wondered how some people could just stand by when they see someone else in trouble, knowing full well that they have the power to help them? Have you ever wondered how much power we possess to change this world? Have you ever wondered how each and every of our actions could have a rippling effect on all the things that happens in the future? Or have you ever sighed in dispair on all everything could have changed if people would just put in the effort. Well, sometimes I do wonder these things. Isn't the world just amazing? How each and every choice that we make in our everyday life affects the feelings of those around you. How each and every of our actions could bring about consequences that we could never ever imagined in the future. Some people might think that a single person alone never ever made a difference. But how would you know? I mean, how would you know unless you could put two identical worlds in parallel, one with you and one without you, and weigh them. But no one could ever do that. Can we? But I guess each and every of us do make a difference to this world in a way or another. Isn't the world today but a consequence of a myriad of actions of people past and present? I call it cause and effect. An action brings and affects and brings about many many other actions. So if we didn't like the world today, who could we blame but ourselves? I do not mean that each and every one of us have the ability to change this world. But don't that ability lie in our actions in totality? If only each and every one of us would put in a little more effort. Instead of questioning whether others would follow suit if we started doing our part, why don't we spend the effort starting the ball rolling? Or are we contented with a world whereby everyone are in individualistic social circles and stepping out to help someone outside of the circle becomes something that is exceeding of our roles, something that is unwanted? Sometimes I do wonder......
