The Power of One
Apathy is about whatever y best efforts produce, it will never be enough to make a difference. So why bother?
Never underestimate the power of one.
You only need to change one person in order to change the entire humanity. Coelho said that, and I agree with him. On a slightly different wording, it was also mentioned in the movie Schindler’s list “He who saves one person, saves the world entire…”
Doing something good, doing something positive, doing something life changing are all important, regardless of scale. It is the little things that make the difference.
One good deed has a ripple effect. What a simple person thinks is an insignificant action can inspire other people to do more things.
Many things changed because one person dedicated himself to doing what is right.
Gandhi spearheaded the non-violent protests of India. One person was able to move an entire nation to a peaceful resistance. Others eventually followed.
Mother Theresa acted alone when she tried to comfort the dying and the neglected in India. Others eventually followed.
There are a lot of issues and problems in our society waiting for the power of one.
That one can be you. And others might eventually follow.
