CHANGE, IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT!

As i watched some videos about our world being in such bad shape, in every way possible, i just think about how people don't realize this. How difficult is to realize that we are destroying our own home, our own species, and of course the rest of species on earth, i don't understand why people don't open their eyes. Would you realize if your house was on fire?, or if you fight so much, and criticize and judge the people you live with, your family, that you are destroying your relationships?, would you realize this, all of this that is happening right before your eyes? I think so, we are not stupid to notice our house is on fire and all our memories are being destroyed, that we are being so selfish and mean that the people around us are leaving, are hurting. So if we can see this, why can't we see that the earth (our home) is burning? is being destroyed, and the people are in pain, suffering, being abused or neglected all around the world, animals being killed for no reason. All of this is happening right before our eyes, every second of every day, and we watch and don't move a muscle to make a difference. Would you let your house burn? your family die? NO! We run and try to save all we can, and everyone we can, right? So why are people so lazy, when it comes to make a move, to change their habits and behaviors so they can make a difference in the world?
It's easier to pretend nothing is happening, because is not happening next door, or to our neighbors... it's happening in the other side of the world, as long as it doesn't affect me, what do i care?, most of the people say, or, "if i stop contaminating, I'm only one person, it's not gonna make a big difference".
They don't realize it will, change starts within ourselves, if we change our mind we can change anything we want, and as people follow the "trends" we can create a trend that can change the world, our home, and lead the whole world to a better place. Respecting life in every form, and cultures, ways of life, tolerate and try to learn from others and help them when they are in need.
Change is not that difficult, it won't happen in one day, but we can start today, start with ourselves. We can make a difference, We can be the difference. Just think about it.
