| When someone believes with all his heart that he can make adifference and help the world become a better place, most
 people see it as an abnormality. As if it is not his place
 to change the world and he should focus on more basic things
 like getting an education and a proper work.
 Most people don't want the world to change. What's even
 worse is that most people don't even believe it can. This
 state of mind, although sad, is normal. Abnormality is
 normal as well. Every statistics has its abnormalities and
 every one of those counts when you calculate the average.
 However, it is ok not to aspire to being average. It is ok
 to want to change the world. It is even better to actually
 do it.
 So the next time you think one of your acquaintances is
 losing his mind when he believes that he can change the
 world, stop for a second and think why you are not the one
 losing his mind when you think you can't make a difference.
 
 Maybe if a lot of people think they can make this place a
 better one, things would actually look different. People
 will stop focusing on how to kill each other and start
 focusing on how to live with each other. Once they do that
 they could focus on the bigger problem, how to live. This
 planet is dying and we are killing it with our own hands. It
 doesn't matter if the ones who will suffer the consequences
 will be our kids, or their kids, or ten generations ahead.
 Stop taking everything for granted.  In this world nothing
 is. The little layer of stardust which gives us the ability
 to breathe is crumbling down as we speak. Nuclear weapons
 will be used, and if you are positive they won't be, why
 keep them?
 Computers are not just a bunch of ones and zeros anymore.
 They are thinking, and they are thinking faster than us.
 There will come a day which will force computers to choose
 if they benefit from the fact that we are here or not. If
 you don't believe that know that belief is irrelevant.
 Throughout history, science fiction became science fact. If
 someone can imagine something and write about it, someone
 else later on will have the skill and technology to actually
 create it, regardless to the creation being a good or a bad
 thing to mankind.
 Even today, parents can choose the sex of their child, the
 color of his eye, and there are people that can provide them
 a copy child for tough health times. Society condones these
 technologies, but scientists were never the most popular
 guys, and they couldn't care less.
 A pet robotic dog is already in the toy store close to your
 location. Not far from now will be the robotic child on the
 shelf next to the dog. Smart, nice, lovely robotic child.
 The only problem is that children, even robotic ones, do not
 always do as they are told. And when the robot children will
 start doing whatever they want, this is the time to start
 thinking why. This is the only question robots will never
 know the answer to.
 So now, try to think outside the box. Start answering the
 whys. Why are we doing whatever we can to destroy everything
 we have? Why do we think that we can only win if someone
 looses? The most important question is why we have to win.
 In god we trust, but even the bible marks the first five
 commandments as the most important. Men, and women, come
 first. Only when humans behave as expected of them to each
 other, they can make room for god and respect him. Start
 acting today. Be nice to the people around you. If they want
 to change the world, don't mock them. Help them. After all,
 it's your world too.
 No one should be the one. There is no one. One can only
 become two and then three. If you all try to be the one,
 good times will come. But one cannot be the one if he stops
 thinking about two, and as important, zero.
