<p>I have loved doing this blog over the past couple of months but I have to move to more pressing issues in my life and career. In trying to Change the World I need to begin taking more action which is what I plan to do.</p>
<p>I am going to have this post up for a few days with a final message.</p>
<p><strong>Look outside yourself.</strong> I have written many posts on being <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/the-audacity-of-introversion/">introverted</a> or <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/the-audacity-of-extroversion/">extroverted</a> and various <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/out-of-the-classroom-and-on-with-your-life/">charities</a>, <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/human-thus-not-infallible/">groups</a> and <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/blog-action-day-october-15th/">organizations</a>; about <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/under-the-rediculous-humor/">character</a> and <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/a-message-of-peace/">humanity</a>; about people and the way the <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/jesus-pieces-and-nazi-bling/">world interacts</a> with you and <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/remember-those-outside-our-borders/">you the world</a>.</p>
<p>My <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/idea-vs-belief/">idea</a> I want to present to you now is to see the extroversion inside of you (isn&#8217;t that a contradictory statement). I have said before that there are people who can travel the world and be in incredible places and experiences and not even <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/we-live-in-a-beautiful-world/">look outside themselves</a>.</p>
<p>The reason I love to stare up at the stars or <a href="http://www.blogforsquares.com/2007/too-much-going-on/">watch the sun rise and set</a> is because it reminds me of my place in the universe. I am nothing without those around me as far reaching as the other side of the world. A person is nothing without other people. To look only within yourself is to not except the power and importance of those who you may not even know.</p>
<p>To live solely for yourself is vain but to live for yourself <em>and the world</em> is empowering. Helping those outside your own comfort zone actually has benefits for all, including yourself. <strong>The Golden Rule</strong> is called <em>golden</em> for a reason.</p>
<p>As I sit here outside by a fire, after having a long-and-great conversation with an old friend who just left (came to keep me company while I am sick), I remember the most important aspect of my life is other people. Without them life would be meaningless so to devote myself to others brings me great and fulfilling <strong>Life Meaning</strong>.</p>
<p>I say tomorrow, you wake up and do your usual routine. Drink your coffee; tread mill for fifteen minutes; whatever. But then during that day I want you to try something. Try following an old rule of the Boy Scouts and do a good deed for someone else in that day. A good turn for someone else in the long run is a good turn for the world and yourself.</p>
<p>It does not have to be a great and powerful showing to your fellow man but a simple gesture of selflessness can bring a great change if done enough by enough people. It could even <strong>Change the World</strong>.</p>
<p><em>To keep up with me in the future head over to my personal blog</em> <a href="http://www.warrengreeley.com/blog/">WarrenGreeley.com/Blog</a> <em>to read my future posts. They are on topics of business, writing, and generally trying to change the world.</em></p>
<p>Thank you for reading. Thanks for caring.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is not necessarily an out of the ordinary thought or post but it is something that needs to be addressed. It&#8217;s hard for me to write about being so close a topic to me but I must speak my mind.</p>
<p>It seems that a lot of people in our country focus on a particular problem and try to fix it in their own ways. This has many benefits but also some downfalls. There seems to be a great disturbance in our society that is forgotten about with many people. What I am talking about is domestic violence.</p>
<p>All through out history women and children have been treated as inferior or lowly compared to the man of the house. When this happens, some men take advantage of their family and loved ones like they are property instead of the equals as they should be. This trend has to stop. Now.</p>
<p>My family has been torn apart by this. It has been a trend that has gone on for generations. My grandmother&#8217;s mother, my grandmother, my mom and her sister have all been mistreated and abused by the ones who claimed to love them. This is wrong. I lived my childhood experiencing things no child should like so many others have. I was never physically hurt myself but the pain my family felt was almost more than I could bare.</p>
<p>This is not something we as humans should be doing to eachother. The statistics show over 80% of men who abuse came from an abusive household. That means that I, statistically am 80% likely to be abusive myself. That is scary.</p>
<p>Now, anyone who knows me knows I am a very peaceful person and know I am not like that but so many are and it needs to stop now. This is the generation to do it. We are breaking new ground on equality, finding cures for diseases among so much else and we need to show we are intelligent enough to not lower ourselves to the level of a brute animal.</p>
<p>To the woman or children in this situation. I beg you to leave it. Any one who treats you like this does not respect you or see you as equal. They most likely will not change. That is just how it is. You need to care more about yourself than the person who treats you that way. You deserve love without pain.</p>
<p>To the men of the world. Now is your time to end it. This is our generation and our world now. What we do will define what happens in the next generation. I want you to promise yourself, promise your loved ones, promise God if you have to that you will not abuse, demean, or mistreat the women and children that make this world so beautiful.</p>
<p>I want to here your stories. If you have one related to this topic please leave a comment or if you do not want it to be public, contact me with the form on this site in the contact section. Any submissions requested to keep private will never be read or spoken of to any other person besides me. I promise that. (It&#8217;s up to you if you want to trust me).</p>
<p>Stop the chain. Now is the time.</p>
