72. When my wife
first began really trying to understand the political situation in the world, she kept saying its so big, how can we ever make a difference. I told her I understand, its like trying to drain a swamp with a teaspoon. The thing is we need to have faith that we arent the only ones with a teaspoon. That incremental changes are still improvements and that if one person is helped the world is a better place because of it. If it all works out long after we are gone it still justifies our efforts. That what is required is that we do whats in front of us. Apathy is the enemy and its a formidable one.
