If I’m a more loving person, but somebody else isn’t a more loving person, I’ve still made the world a more loving place.
And if enough of us are more loving people, who stop being hateful because somebody else is being hateful -
The world will be a far more loving place to be.
We need to be determined to achieve positive change, and also be able to take a long view of what needs to be done. What is important is not to become demoralized. Optimism leads to success; pessimism leads to defeat. One person can be the source of inspiration for many others.
