So, I'm wondering.

That is an important ponder.

I've pondered that before, but in this form - I realized that if I wanted to...if I really, really wanted to....I could be another Martin Luther King or Golda Meir or Mother Teresa. If I dedicated my life to change, I could do something, if not on their scale, then pretty damn close - or at least I could be someone important's right hand man.

But dedicate my life to something like that? Possibly get murdered for a cause? Live and eat and breathe it? I'm sorry, I'm just not that selfless a person.

So I accept that I'm not going to change the world. I'm not willing to toss away my life for it.
