Throwing garbage on the street is just a part of life in India. It made me mad when I first got there. I didn't understand why they would just continue to put trash on the ground. Why doesn't someone start a movement and clean up the country? If people would stop throwing trash out their car windows and everywhere, eventually the place could be clean, right? This was how I felt until I was told by a local, "Even if I stopped throwing
my trash on the ground, others still would and the mess wouldn't be cleaned up. I would just be working harder for nothing."
It is interesting to think about. Could one person who stopped littering really change a country?
Could one person really loving people change a world? One person's love might not change everybody in the world, but it could change one heart. Is that one heart worth it? I'm taking the stand to live in love. I don't think I will change the world just as one person but I will make a difference to someone.
Everything starts with one person, on this planet. The Eiffel Tower began as an idea in one person's mind. The polio vaccine began with one person seeing the need for it, then acting on it. Never believe that one person cannot change the world. Jesus did.
