It  is just that these     changes by themselves are not enough.<\/p>\n<p>True change must be accompanied by awareness.  Darkness is negative. It     is meaningless to change it or to defeat it. The real solution is to  bring in the light.     No matter how dark and for how long, as long as there is awareness,  darkness will     disappear. The light of one lamp can overcome the darkness of a  thousand years. In the     deepest of our soul, greed, anger and ignorance are negative. There  is nothing we can do     to them. To fix them is actually reinforcing them. They are the  darkness within. As long     as we bring in the light, our self-awareness, the darkness will  disappear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By not trying to change, change has occurred.
