More questions from a meme I started ages ago: 50 questions that will change your life
4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Although of course everyone would like to say that they have done all that they've said or that they're a real go-getter, the fact is that not every plan can work out. Besides, I'm a dreamer. Half the dreams and ideas I come up with aren't meant to work in the real world. I attempt some of them, but it wouldn't be possible to even try the really crazy ones.
Rather than try to do all that I've said I would or live up to all the ideas that come into my head, I think that the most important thing is to pick the ideas that have the most potential. That way, the ideas that I do choose are ones that really matter. They're the ones that are the most well-reasoned and likely to come to fruition. There's something to be said for dreaming big, but choosing wisely the ones to put into action.
5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
If I could change anything about the world, I would somehow find a way to end wars. And hey, if it is in fact changing anything, I could do that. I hate that there have to be soldiers in the world and that people are trained for professional killing against armies of people who could actually be friends if their leaders agreed.
Clearly, this is one of those ideas that could never be put into action, haha. But if I could change it, I would, so that no family has to suffer the loss of fathers, sons, uncles, etc, because they went to war and were returned home dead.
