"they always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."

you know, there are five billion people in the world. that's 5,000,000,000 people. and every single one of those people could do as much good in the world as martin luther king, jr. did. the only reason we don't is that we are fixed and bottled up into a situation where only quote-unquote "really good people" are supposed to help people they don't know. but that's not the case. i mean, there will always be problems. that i won't deny. there will always be catastrophes and desperate people and horrifying, near-apocalyptic situations, but people can actually help.
american teenagers look at the world, become disillusioned, and crawl into their bedrooms to smoke weed and worry their parents. THAT DOESN'T WORK. this does.
