I am not a MIchael Jackson fan, but Man In The Mirror is one song I kind of know. He talks about the trouble in the world and wants things to change. His lyric says "if you want to make the world a better place take a look at your self and make a change." You can't change the whole world or even the people around you that make you mad. You can only change your self and the way you respond to situations. You can't pull your self out of bad situations unless you are willing to change.
