1 John 5:19 teaches us that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. We do not have the power to change this system of things and turn this world into a better place. However, Psalm 37:10,11 assure us that soon the wicked one will be no more, neither will his followers. The earth will be a peaceful place filled with meek people. We can be included in this group of meek ones and enjoy earthy paradise by doing the will of God (1 John 2:17).

The only one I can change is me. So making myself a better me is really the only option I have. I have a long way to go, I know. But if I can get one corner of my life right maybe someone else will see it, want it, and ask me now to get it. I know others in my neighborhood have seen that I am almost always happy and I can keep what little money I have. I have shared information with them and I can actually see them thinking about it. Change is difficult. I try to share information online. I've been both thanked and criticized (mostly criticized) for doing so. But trolls will be trolls. They need attention and don't know how to do it in a positive way. And leveling is always an issue. And while I've seen a troll or two change, they are not my concern. My concern is those I can help. And if I'm able to help someone its worth the 'nerf darts'.
