I guess the fairer way to say it would be that I wish I were a more faithful follower of my religion. (But we won't go there - forum rules and all.) But that's more what I mean. My experience with others has been that the more a person changes themselves the more other individuals are affected ... and that is the best way for effecting what I regard as worthwhile change in the world.
For example, I met a man (he died last November) who spent TWENTY FIVE years in psychological and physical concentration camps because his beliefs were at variance with the country he lived in. And he came out of it a MUCH better man. His example moved me very much and many others - thousands of people in several countries....
Ya see what I mean?
