what are we supposed to do when all of the worlds problems seem too big or too far away? aids is burning through africa, but we don't see it. our work "accomplished" by war is collapsing, but it's only on our tv's. the polar bear's ice is melting and china's dams are cracking, but what are we to do about it? spackle the dam? plop some ice cubes in the ocean?
at times i feel myself become completely overwhelmed by the thought of attempting any sort of activism i get dizzy and have to sit down. sure there are foundations, but how much can donations here and there really do?
one thing, if this blog points out anything, is that all i have...perhaps what most of our generation has...is questions. just questions.
it is undeniable that there is a sense of helplessness to this thought process that i'm attempting to weave through. however, i must remind myself that i am not on the bad end of this time in the world. i am just a little piece of the large portion that truly has it easy.
now what to DO with this power.
i may feel like a helpless person, but to gather all the so called helpless and create something larger than our complaints? now, that is one question that leaves a feeling of optimism.
