2. This is the wrong time to ask me this
I feel really powerless right now, but that's just me being in a cliche depression phase...I'll get over it, as I should.

Individuals have all the power. Just as a candle can spark a wildfire, so too can one person impact their surroundings a great deal. The effort of an individual to achieve progress, even if it is temporarily denied, is in itself a triumph of truth. Truth's expression against wrong is a confirmation that there is no way to perpetuate wrong for long, and that there is right in the world.

There is another thing to consider. The person who fights for change does so partially (or primarily) by getting other people to do the same. The most powerful of entities are collective groups of many individuals, all using their potential to seek justice and truth.

Individuals have always changed the world. Even if they are as a flower in early spring that has been the first to bloom, that is not only itself a beautiful and powerful thing, but also an indicator of that which is to surely follow.

Justice is always there in the end, and individuals are the ones who bring it about, regardless.
