Another great book that inspired my view of the world, is a book written by Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall "Spiritual Capital: wealth we can live by"
A few quotes from there while I am reading this book:
"If things go wrong in the world, this is because something is wrong with the individual, because something is wrong with me. Therefore, if I am sensible, I shall put myself right first...In the last analysis, the essential thing is the life of the individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations just take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. In our most private and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, its sufferers, but also its makers/ We make our own epoch". Last words by Carl Jung that Zanah quotes at the beginning of the book, inspired her to write this book.
She says "They underpin its central theme, that if enough of us change ourselves, we can thereby change the world. I began the task on myself by putting aside my gloomy inactivity and its associated avoidance mechanisms and getting myself back into in a state to write."
Consequently, these words of hers inspired me to write in due course. I believe that through writing we can bring the message across the world. This is a century that is the beginning of something good, we have a help of new technology that helps us to target millions of people to bring awareness of global issues. I see a lot of potential in uniting our strengths and making a change for our world to be a better place.
