The world changes on it's own. Those who try to force it usually have ulterior motives, namely a desire for control.

@Sicarium The world changes on its own. No apostrophe.

Those who have already changed the world are the ones with dodgy ulterior motives. Those who want to reverse-change everything have good ulterior motives.

@Sicarium So if we want to change a country for better we can't because then we are controlling?

Thanks. I hope your life has meaning now.

That is so incredibly simplistic and reductive.

@Carazaa Who decides what's better? Plenty of tyrants have done what they've done in the name of the greater good or improving society. And yes, forcing change is a form of control. The ends do not justify the means, and the means tend to become the end.

@Sicarium well that is definitely not what I believe. I believe we should definitely feed the poor, heal diseases, and help out however we can because we can change the world. Even one person can change the world by doing what they can with what God has given them! I trust God will help us!

@Carazaa Then go feed the poor, encourage people to become doctors, and help out whoever. But the second you try to force others to do your bidding, you stop "helping", even if you claim you have good motives. Control is control, doesn't matter why.

@Sicarium we should all be encouraged! We have powerful people in my family who have changed the world in more ways than one for the better! And so can you!

@Carazaa Lots of people shouldn't be encouraged.

You're missing the point and I'm getting tired of repeating it.

@Sicarium the world does NOT change by itself!!
