If your plan requires
That people have to change
In order to get it done—
If it relies upon that rarest-used
Of human faculties to be
Summoned to action—
If it hinges on them caring so much
About your thing as to defy
The inertia of their inner Gibraltars—
Then you may have got yourself
One of the stupidest plans
In the history of this world.
Or perhaps you have got something
That is simply not for everybody—
So brilliant as to be grasped
By only the brightest and softest hearts,
While the rest either reject it outright
Or content themselves with counterfeits
More easily managed.
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus. Matthew 18:3. NIV
