Which point
If the point of your stance on this thread is that we can all make a difference, it's a good point. If your point is that we often sit on the sidelines when we ought to be out there fighting for what we believe in, it's a good point. If your point is that each and every one of us has the time, ability, resources, and responsibility to make the world exactly what we want it to be, then I think you've overshot the mark.

Re: Which point
I don't get it. I live in the same world as you do, and my neighbor Mike, and Lindsey Lohan, among others. What if we all want different worlds? Someone's not going to get the world that they want, even if they're trying their honest best.
Just what is it exactly your saying? Because what it seems like your saying doesn't make much sense, so I suspect you mean something else.

Re: Which point
Well, I guess that clears that up.
Actually, I've gone back and re-read your posts, and I feel a little silly - I thought you were saying that we're supposed to make reality conform to our desires, as in "I wish I had a never ending supply of chocolate". My bad; carry on.
