Nothing stays the same

I think sometimes we feel pain and suffering because we never fully accept the fact that nothing will ever stay the same. People and circumstances change constantly. All the time we have influences which affect us in someway. They make us look at something from a different angle and change the way we perceive the world. Change isn't bad its the way we grow and learn. Some experiences will hurt us but if you think clearly at what has happened and not take things personally. You can appreciate it and learn form it. Sometimes people take a 'negative' situation and instead of reflecting on it they let it manifest and ruin their life. Changing them to become bitter, resentful, insecure and anxious. All of these feelings are unproductive and stop you from leading a happy life.

I have recently begun to deepen my thoughts through reading into views from well known philosophers and listening to peoples views on life. I've been trying to take time to really understand them and find my own opinion. I know no one is ever right because we cant confirm what is actually ever true. For each person we all have our past experiences, current surroundings and interactions, physical makeup and interests which all make us perceive the world differently.

I really feel we need to help develop people though education but also teach people to critically analysis everything. To be compassionate and love everyone as equals. This is where I think we can evolve for the better to help preserve and develop what we have. It doesn't mean I think we should forget about feeding the homeless or giving aid in other countries. It means I have great respect for people doing that as it builds your own compassion towards people and also it is contagious, is strengthens the love in others. I just think we should also think about why are these people homeless? what is the reason? To get deeper an teach people to help themselves, give them tools and support so one day they can help others.

I want to practice what I believe because other wise I am just going through the motions because I feel it is the right thing to do. I want to be able to have passion and faith that what I do is for a purpose bigger than me as a single person.
