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.

What do you mean, this does? Just empty your pockets and throw money? No, i mean that IS good cause and a good start, but then once you're done with that, you go back to your sulky little teen angst box. I don't think it works so well. Do help for the reater good, but also become connected with it. Get off your butt and walk around helping people, or helping the world. Do something aside from click at a screen and find your pockets much less heavy.
look, that's not what i meant--what i meant is that there are things to care about and devote yourself to that matter a lot. i don't mean "give money to an organization, pat yourself on the back, and forget about it." i mean that worrying is much less useful than helping.
