When we meet a man or a woman

Or it might be a child,

We jump to see what we can

And assume their lives in a way very mild

We don’t think before we speak

For answers that are bleak.

We draw vague conclusions 

And later create fine lines.

We bombard the space

Without knocking on the door.

And then create a false world

Of our own.

We have to be quick and smart.

But where does the subtle man go?

Does he hide in forever, 

Or wait for us to leave?

Well it is not the man held wrong

But our fault till long.

For it was we who did not see his inner beauty,

And decided to name him ugly.

We did not get it then, 

But maybe we do now.

There are multiple dimensions to every person,

Just wait and read 'how'.

The Right Vision - Rishona Chopra

In Chinese folklore, there is the story of an ambitious young man who, on his twentieth birthday, became consumed with the desire to change the world. He spent the next 20 years trying to do that but couldn’t. At age 40, he settled for trying to change China. He spent the next 20 years trying to do that but couldn’t. At age 60, he settled for trying to change his village. For the next 20 years, he tried to do that but failed. At age 80, he decided to focus on changing his family. He spent the next 20 years trying to do that but couldn’t. At age 100, he decided to focus on changing himself. But the next day, he died.

We often try to change the world and others according to us, but we never try to change ourselves. But why? Because it is easier. It is easier to find faults with others, but it is difficult to

change ourselves.
