Let me tell you a story.
Student: I want to change the world, or at least make a slight change to the current system.
Guru: Yes, you might.
Student: How to do it? How can I make sure I don’t give up?
Guru: Let me tell you the Golden rule. If you follow it, then you can make a change for sure.
Student: Okay, guru. Yes, please.
Guru: Just don’t give up. That is what you need to know. Let me give you a small task for THREE DAYS, and see whether or not you will understand.
TWO DAYS LATER
Student: I can’t do it anymore…why? I had everything ready, and I am so prepared.
Guru: The first day is hard. The second day will be harder. The third day you will see the sunshine. But many people quit in the night of the second day.
Many of us want to make a change and contribute to the peace building or even a greater good. We know that, from Professor Rubenstein, the fundamental cause of structural violence is prejudice. If we want to change this current system, it will require us to reform the legal and political worldwide system, which for sure will take us a LONG time.
So, as future young leaders, in which day will I see you?
