Change life Quote by Jiddu Krishnamurti
““Can we change our life? To have no conflict at all in our life, because conflict is part of violence —is that possible? This constant struggle to be something is the basis of our life, the struggle to struggle. Can we, as human beings, living in this world, change ourselves?””
