It wasn't long ago when I started thinking about being a greater man.
At the KA meeting tonight, Josh brought up the issue of Sudan genocide. And although as usual I didn't understand half of the issue they discussed, I figured we were talking about how our feelings for Sudan genocide relates to ourselves. Well my mind trailed off, and I thought about when I never thought about doing anything about the Sudan Genocide.
Actually, I never thought about how I can impact the society, make a difference in the community and help the less fortunate and issues like that. I used to think they were empty and more like political propaganda. But deep inside I know they are not. And it actually takes a very noble heart to devote himself to things like that. And I know all the time that it isn't that hard either, I see people around me devoting their time and efforts to community service and petition to help alleviate the Sudan Genocide. And I respect these people. The thought of being one of them just never crossed my mind.
Maybe I'm just not a noble man. I have friends like Zhang Hao, who has such noble hobbies and is so knowledgeable in so many fields that he's always making an impact on his surroundings(and a huge impact on my life). There's Yang Bo who's had such a passion on science he hopes to better the world with his science research.
Comparing myself with them, I feel like I'm nothing. I have sympathy and compassion, but I don't have noble goals. I might have random noble ideas that crossed my mind every now and then, but I just never take solid actions.
So I'm not a noble man, but maybe I can try to be a greater man. It sure takes a lot to be a great man.
