as human beings living in this world, there are many many things that are not pleasing to us
n as much as we want it to be pleasing to us,
it just can't be that way
most of the time, we have to change ourselves to accomodate

as we all know, change is the hardest thing to get used to
we are so accustomed to our old ways that we dread the change even though it may be necessary
but change is inevitable
sometimes, we just have to change
if we know it is for the better
but some, just do not want to change
how then do we get these people to change?

what if these people are reluctant?
what if these people are full of themselves?
what if these people are so obsessed with themselves that they forgot they are living on this planet called Earth and there are many other beings called Humans living together with them?
how then, do we get these people to change?

yes, on our part we can teach them the correct way
yes, on our part we can offer a helping hand whenever is needed
but that's only if these people do stretch out their own hands and take the helping hand
like a drowning person, if he/she does not reach out for the life buoy thrown to him/her,
it's futile in the end.
offer help when it is needed
take the help when it is offered
and always be ready for change
