Our Lives Are Full of Imperfections That We Hide
Change must come from within if we are to make the world a better place

l have repeated many times in this book that to live peacefully in this imperfect world we all must examine our hearts and minds, and eliminate those aspects within ourselves that cause pain and hardship for others. To do so requires that we be brutally honest with ourselves, which can be difficult even for the best of us. Hypocrisy, being overly critical, putting others down, and taking advantage of others fears are all things we unconsciously or unconsciously do to maintain our own social position and self-esteem. We need to take the time out of our busy lives to understand that its the good we foster in others that makes life worthwhile,  and  not  the  height  we  think

we have reached on the social or economic ladder. I think of peer pressure and how being left out hardens an innocent person heart. Good and evil cannot coexist. Good must always have the best intentions of eliminating evil. Evil can be borne from poverty when those who have little want to hurt those who have much. The well-off must be aware that those to whom much is given much is expected, and they have a responsibility to help those in poverty. There is no better feeling than giving, and no better feeling than knowing that you have changed a heart for the better or improved some corner of the world.
