The Corrector

 Learn how to live in the world as it is.  That is, the world right around you, with the people you encounter on a daily basis.  Don’t become the great corrector, with your mind mumbling about the faults of others, and your mouth telling them what they ought to do.  Make the world a better place by your actions.  And let your mind quiet down by becoming a more accepting, forgiving and compassionate person.  I find myself wanting the larger world to become more loving, while I am wanting to critique the persons with whom I have regular, daily encounters.  Change and growth is always local.  Waking up means becoming aware of your own shortcomings before you correct others.
