"The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionists are philosophers and saints."
The only real way we change the world is by changing ourselves. The only way we redefine how to live is by living differently.
Our actual job on this planet only starts once we realize that we are the job. That the betterment of our person is the only worthwhile pursuit. But without an unwavering belief that change within us is possible, we reenact centuries-old narratives. The course of our lives remains as the world expects it from us. And time stands still within us, though it continues to move around as intended.
