i don't know

"does the world change itself, or do we change our world"

A little bit of both, I think, and something more. We affect our world(s) in much the same way that every other person around us does. This globe is a crucible of souls and destinies. It's inevitable that some things you do would affect me, that some things I do would affect you, and that some things both of us do will interact. Whether at the end that nullifies or makes more intense the results of you and I separately "doing something" is irrelevant: we contribute. Everything does something; all roads lead somewhere.

The world changes, too. People come in and go out of it. Things happen - the effects of everybody doing something or nothing, natural events and supernatural ones - to change the course of history, the face of the planet, and the destiny of Mankind and the men and women that form it.

More than that, we change in the world. Every person's perspective is different - how, if I myself am a different person Today than I know I was last year or ten years ago, can my perception of what is not change to match? How much of the change I see "in the world" is really a change in how I look at what there is to see?

And where's the hand of God in all this?
