There are too many things in the world, many problems that depress you. You look at it, sometimes you feel hopeless, you scream whether there will be anyone who will help solve those problems. You pray for God so He will help remove all natural disasters. You demonstrate so that politicians and government will corrupt less. You focus on problems. It makes you even more confused. Life becomes more demoralize. You lose hope.
The world is just like a cup of coffee. It is bitter but has nice aroma. You either choose to drink black the way it is or you add more milk and sugar so that it is creamier and more sweetened. That is how you should do as well. There are a lot of conditions and consequences to deal with problems. It will tire you down because when the problems continue to exist it will not be healthy to persistently solve them. At the end when you cannot solve, the problems actually wear you down.
We cannot solve all the problems in the world. The problems sometimes are in other hands. Sometimes they are even in the hand of God. But there is one thing that you can do right away, not to change anyone else, is to do even a small good thing for the people and for the society. Kahlil Gibran once said, “Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite. If you are the second, then you are an oasis in a desert”. Kennedy had brought this into one of the most famous and most powerful speech in the world “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country”. If each one of us just do a small good thing for the community for the country we live, for the world we all reside, millions drops of water can fill the ocean. It is just that we need to shift focus from negative things and stop asking questions why and start doing the opposite.
Before we can start giving we need to feel that we give ourselves enough. Before we start loving we need to ensure that we love ourselves enough. The positive energy for loving will start spreading to other places, to other people and to the world. It is the power of stop asking question why and just go ahead and do it.
