Better What?

People want a better house or better place to live. A better car. Better clothes. Better school for their kids. Better spouse and a better job. 

How many want to be a better person? Better at aiming at the right thing? Better at managing conflict? Better at communicating? Better at managing our emotions? Better at enduring injustice and unreasonable demands from people?

 Perhaps the problem is us. What if we worked at improving ourselves daily little by little as if our life depends on it, because maybe it does.
