Changing the system begins with changing ourselves.

.

Protesting injustice matters, but without inner awareness, even a new system can repeat the mistakes of the old one.

00:00France is burning. A 143-year-old French town hall that survived two world wars has now been largely destroyed
00:06by fire during violent protests.
00:09A historic landmark lost around two-thirds of its structure as demonstrations over rising living costs and declining public services
00:15turned violent.
00:16And you all say you are Gen Z. You say we like to be unique individuals. If you are actually
00:21unique individuals, then why are you all running in the same lane?
00:23This is my question to the students. You understand what I am saying, right?
00:27Look, look, until we reach the root of the problem. Until then, such incidents will keep happening repeatedly.
00:34We also have to address the root cause. I am not saying don't protest against the corruption and scams in
00:41the system.
00:42Definitely do it. You should. There should be justice outside, but there should also be awareness within.
00:47You are fighting for justice outside. You are doing a very good job.
00:50But if there is no awareness within, no matter how much change you bring outside, you will find that nothing
00:56has really shifted.
00:57Things remain as old as they were. They have just changed their names, forms, colors, shapes, and clothes.
01:02Things have remained as old as they were. Change the system.
01:05The system should definitely be the best. But remember that we are the ones who create the system.
01:09If we are flawed people inside and have created a good system outside, do you know what we will do?
01:15We will create a good system during the day.
01:16And at night, we ourselves will exit through the back doors.
01:20If we are not changing from within, then even bringing systemic change will not be very beneficial.
