And when we see, that something is going wrong to act or to speak it out.

I appreciate the insight that it is in our actions that we have the power to change history. Very nice. Thank you. I would like to extend this thought a bit further… We are all interconnected. We share the same molecules, the same needs and desires, and the same history. What each of us does affects that around us. That is why it is important to be aware of things that we are doing and saying… because of their impact upon others. History is itself a difficult concept. Many people say that ‘history is the past’. However, history is continually being reinterpreted. History is not fixed or set in stone. Sure there are facts that may be indisputable, but facts without context are meaningless. So it is within some context that we view history. But as we change and learn more (personally and culturally), the context within which we see the facts changes. If you believe that it is our nature to act freely and affect the things around us, and if we are affected by that which has occurred in the past, then by the actions in our daily lives we help create the milieu in which our children (the future) will live. That is the amazing power (and responsibility) that we have to take the past, add our free moving and thinking actions, and help create the future. That is how we Change History. That is how within the milieu in which we live, we act through our past with our personal expressions and actions, to create the future. In this way we make the world. In this way we are God.

It's often amazing how moral lessons have been described differently in the various beliefs...here Sufi. Yesterdays liturgy in the Catholic Church had very similar moral message, about the good Shepherd; 'He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own, the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep, I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father. (John 10.11-18) Are we willing to act on the behalf of others, to the point of giving our life for them? Most parents would for their own children, but too often we are indifferent hirelings or Sufi boys. God give us all courage to move mountains! ‘Act on behalf of others’.
