so, i was just listening to npr on the way home from work and found myself wishing i was hearing about some tragic movie and not the world we not only live in, but somehow have created for ourselves. i just don't understand how it got to be this way.
beyond that, i find myself increasingly frustrated by this overwhelming drive to do something to change the way it is, coupled with the possibly self-defeating notion that i am only one person and that the difference i make is inconsequential. at the same time, i realize that the world would be much worse if people like ghandi and mlk jr. had that mindset, and therefore motivate myself to continue to think of ways i can be of assistance...
i've felt this in general for most of my adult life, however, feel like it is coming to a head. i know my work and donations to charity make a difference, yet i feel complacent...
i'm not sure why i've chosen to write here again, perhaps i'm on to something i don't know about yet...documentation is key, i suppose....
until then....
