non-living also has its own psychology. No one can ever bring a thing out of the
sphere of its psychology.

-Ramana Maharshi "Sri Ramana Maharshi"

-Bertrand Russell "Bertrand Russell"
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
