A zen student asked: “Can we change the world?”

The zen master asked: “Can you accept the world?”

The student said: “No, I can not. There is war, poverty, so many bad things.”

The master said: “If you can’t accept the world, you can’t change it.”

    Thank you, Art.

    For me, this story also says: you can’t change what you do not acknowledge.
