But I think you're wrong in that everyone that tries to change the world only has personal issues to overcome, and if they do everything is alright. Believing that is pretty much solipsism. Sometimes the world really is wrong and can be fixed.
No, that isn't my point at all. My point is that berating other people and lecturing them in the way this piece does typically comes from insecurity, hurt and so on. I would like to change the world and fix some things that are wrong. But I am not desperate to do so, I do not have overwhelming need, I try very hard to avoid sounding like I am lecturing. I don't always get it right. I just know that berating people does not make for less bad in the world, it makes for more bad -- it hurts people's feelings, it tears down their self esteem and so on. I spend a lot of time pondering how to resolve real problems effectively. I know from long experience that this approach is really not it.
