The world has always been going the shit and will continue to go to shit until the end of time. It takes mountains to influence the tides of nations. You should take the responsibilities you can bear, but no more.

    I live by the boyscouts rule. Leave this place a little cleaner than when you came here.

      Seriously. Some of the things that philosophy does is get you to focus on things that are local so you can see the change, and things you can do something about. Now the world is a better place because you looked at the places you were and did something that is possible for you to do. We should all do this

        It’s also a matter of making the right choices. At a small local level it’s easier to know what is right and what is wrong.

      Excellent rule to live by! Lots of people doing little things makes big changes. It’s always worth doing the little things!
