Hate doesn’t change people.
Punishments don’t change people.
Expectations don’t change people.
Insults don’t change people.
Guilt doesn’t change people.
Judgements don’t change people.
We cannot use threats to compel someone into doing good. We cannot use negativity to force positivity onto someone. It just doesn’t make sense. ✖️
If we want change, if we want to stop destructive behaviour, if we want to stop racism or discrimination or war; then we don’t compound it by spreading more judgements and more hate in the name of ‘good’. 👉 It’s not about staying silent or quietly accepting what we think isn’t right, but to be constructive in our approach to making things right.
We must help, not further wound. Self-righteousness does nothing to create change.
The only way to change people, to change mindsets, to change behaviour, is to influence it by BEING AN EXAMPLE of what should be. Not just talking about goodness, but living it. 🌿
Only when we are kind and forgiving and loving and compassionate can we influence other people to follow the same path. If we say it’s good to be kind yet condemn a criminal to death, we are only perpetuating what the criminal is perpetuating - destruction.
We can’t be kind until it’s inconvenient to be so. Be loving until it’s inconvenient to be so. Don’t swing between hate and love, kindness and cruelty - decide on which boat you’d rather to be on, and let that guide your actions. 🙌
We’re human and we have our emotions, and we can behave in a way we’re not proud of or later regret. But if we’re aware, at least we’re working towards being a more mindful person. We change ourselves so that others are inspired by the change to do the same.
We cannot have war for war, and fight blood with more blood. In a room full of people who are yelling, yelling louder will not make us heard. We’re just contributing to the noise instead of stopping it. Instead of forcing change, BE the change, and be happy, always. ❤️
