Want to change the world? Change YOURSELF (and mind your business)


Before going around with:
- a misplaced sense of self-righteousness pretending you're qualified to tell anyone how to live their own lives
- a mistaken belief you can just drop in, fix other people's problems, and exit their lives (he's helping strangers, not friends)

Especially if you're religious (this tripe is not only Oscar bait but religious bait). Jesus said to remove the beam from your own eye before lecturing your brother about the spec of dust in his.

What the hell are you talking about? How is doing a good deed for someone telling them how to live their lives and fixing all their problems? Plus, everyone isn't equipped to change themselves. Sometimes, you need help. Either you didn't pay close enough attention to the movie or you are just grumpy for no reason...

You can't mind YOUR business very well when there are so many *beep* *beep* doing what they full well know can and will cause you problems in one form or another.
