Who Changes the World?
How do you change Yourself or the world?
It depends upon how you approach yourself and the world.
Either you can be a creator; or a critic; or a mere bystander, wondering what the other two are doing.
The creators make things happen in this world. They generate ideas, accept ideas, explore possibilities, improve things, create new things, new methods, new paths, and whole new ways of living. Nothing they ever did was perfect.
Nothing ever will.
But, what matters is – they improves the world; they create; they rejuvenate; they alter life drastically.
Even the Lord God had never created any thing perfect. Nor will he ever in future. His most beautiful creation, the man (and woman) is also imperfect.
He has left every thing in his creation a little imperfect; some times a lot imperfect; – so that man can think and go on improving them; the way God himself does; God loves the creator in the man; the creator sees glimpses of God in himself when he is creating.
And then, there is the Critic;
the critic looks at every thing that the creator creates; the critic finds everything imperfect; and of course, he is right; he goes on finding the faults; the more, the merrier;
the critic looks at the beautiful, sparkling white wall; and finds the small black spot in it some where; he then stares at the small black spot until, he sees only the black spot and not the white wall;
But, if he so chooses, he can be an admirer of the white wall and the black spot; he does rarely. Yes. Critics can turn admirers too.
And then, there are the bystanders, who do not know what the creator and the critic are doing; those who do not understand either the creator or the critic;
but the critic is louder than the creator; so, the bystander often feels the critic is right; actions should speak louder than words; but often, words speak louder than actions. The creator’s actions are overshadowed by the critics words often initially;
but sooner or later, the creator forces his creation on the world; the creation compels attention; world accepts the creations, skeptically and grumblingly initially; and then comes full acceptance; like the world accepted the electricity, the radio, the TV and a host of other creations. The critics fall into dustbin; the creator looks like God, which he is;
life moves on; more colourful than before;
Would you like to be a creator; or critic; or a bystander?
The choice is yours.
= yours
