Ben Thomas:
It is within my power to drastically change his circumstances, but I don't want to give that man a gift he doesn't deserve.
Quoted from the movie, Seven Pounds
How often do we have in us, the power to drastically change the circumstances of the people around us, yet so often do we give them to the people who deserve them the least? Do we judge accordingly on whom best deserve the gifts we provide, or do we often make the mistake of making people priority in our lives, when often we are just an option in theirs.
The next time you see a colleague struggling to finish their work, a friend looking to better his business, an enemy in need of a friend, remember ... we have the power to drastically change their circumstances, if only if we choose to. Like in the overly quoted statement, with "Great powers come great responsibility". Be responsible in choosing whom we choose to use our powers to change someone's life today.
this is enlightening! =D
