Well, just because you believe yourself to be too emotionally or mentally impotent to change the world for the better doesn't mean that the everybody else should just give up, too!!!
I've only just begun, my friend - and I'm not going to give up until I'm either dead or have helped make my mark in reversing the wickedly archetypical paradigms that continue to pervade humanity as a whole - something which I honestly don't see happening in my lifetime.
And while I won't claim to have majorly changed anything so far as the eye can see, I do know for a fact that what I am doing is having a positive and (hopefully) somewhat lasting effect. I know this simply because more and more people are beginning to wake up to the imminent dangers which we're facing by continuing to delude ourselves in our denial of reality. Many people have already told me that I've opened their eyes, and that's all the vindication that I need.
And while I have never claimed to be overly pious by subscribing to any single religion, I do possess enough spiritual and intellectual curiosity to seek enlightenment by studying the works and deeds of both luminaries and humanitarians throughout all of recorded history.
As Mother Theresa was once noted as saying,
... and that is exactly what I'm doing.
It only takes one spark to create a fire. The fire which was set upon my mind through someone else will hopefully one day spread to the collective consciousness of our world.

Nice. Plus infinity for Trancer-X.
