Think you have to save the world? No; it's not your job.
Think you can't do anything at all toward saving the world? No, that's not quite right either. Take a lesson from Edward Everett Hale. I love this thought. It's why we foster little batches of kittens every summer.
"I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But I can still do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
Is there some little thing you can do today to make the world a better place? Share a ride? Show someone a kindness? Read a little so that you can speak intelligently on some subject? Prepare to vote in your next election?
I believe that if you do a little something every day, or nearly every day, you ARE saving the world.
