Spiced Up

I have this ambition of being able to move the world. I usually tell this before to my students. I told them that the should not let their names be written only on birth certificates and carved on tomb stones but let them be spelled across the globe. Yes, it's not juts about me; It's about everyone making a difference and making their lives worth living.
God must have put me in a situation wherein I get to practice it and one of it was at school. When I became an adviser, I was challenged to bring my class's indifferent majority to SOMETHING. Almost everyday was a futile lesson--my homeroom period most of the time becoming a blog post which I intend to post for criticizing nonsensical acts. There came a time that I stopped preaching in front and threw my hands up, telling myself, "Eric, it seems useless to bring their faces back in front." At the latter part of our relationship, my students were doing well when they learned that I have filed my resignation. But of course, at the end of the day, nothing MUCH has changed. There were good progress though and I must say I'm really proud of them although the number of these blessed beings are enough to raise only up to the last finger of my hands.
That's all there is.
Then, I was also challenged to change a special person from being too vulnerable and weak. But also at the end of our relationship, he was able to show me that there are people you can never move no matter how special you are (or WERE) to them. Schadenfreude segue: At least, I was able to prove myself that I'm better than him when we broke up. He sucks big time now, figuratively and literally.
No, I'm not saying that I'm a perfect person. I could never claim to be. Nor can I say that I do most things the right way. Nor could I say that most things that I say are right. It is just that we all have that goal to make this world a better place. And whenever I think that an idea is practical and logical, I advise it to people. When I am not in the right position to say such, I shut my trap.
But here's the lesson: We can never really change everyone. The world is dirty and it will always be. This isn't coming from my pessimist side---neither I am a pessimist. I just know it now. Without conflict, where's the spice of life? Without war, how would we know about peace? Without indifferent people, how would we know we should achieve excellence? Without stupid people, whom can we laugh at? (Just kidding!)
The dark side of Yin Yang is there for a purpose: to spice up life. Imagine if life were perfect. Everything would be the same thing. But with the dirt of the world, we'll know that we need to take a bath every once in a while--and I know you'll agree that taking a bath makes us feel better, right?
This is not to tell you to raise your white flags and melt in the mediocre crowd. This is to tell you that there should always be struggle... We still aim for the better... But do not be frustrated with not being able to change everything completely... Because there are really stupid people out there (even I can be at times). We just need to know how to deal with them. Start with digging up their graves.
