What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear "No one has the power to change the Changeless" (177). To me it mean that no matter how strong someone thinks they are, they don't have enough power to change something that can't be changed. People fight everyday to change the world but yet things are still the same. It's hard to change something or someone that does not want to be changed. Just like in the story "The Bhagavad-Gita" when Sri Krishna tries to convince Arjuna to fight in the war by telling him it's his dhrama. Its hard to change Arjuna, because he's to worried about fighting against his cousin instead of fulling his dhrama. Or what about the struggles our president Obama goes through to change the U.S? We have to realize that we live in a world were the "people up top" are greedy for money,and don't really think about the people underneath them.
Hey ! That's my favorite quote lol. but Great idea Unique. I took it a little differently though. "No one has the power to change the changeless" means to me that if you can't change something then leave it alone. Why waste your time and energy on something that you know you wont be able to change. if you try to change a stubborn person you will end up at a dead end because you can't help change someone if they don't want to help change themselves. So i think that quote is really relevant today in 2013.
ReplyDeleteConstantly trying to change something that can't be unchanged only brings anxiety, trust me I've been there. Ironically, seeing that I was unable to change certain things that were unchangeable, changed me as a person. I became very carefree, sometimes even too care free and even nonchalant most of the times(unfortunately). However just because you can't change something does NOT mean you have to accept! "Expect it but don't accept it" :)
