I recently heard a quote that got me thinking as to how we let the world get into the mess it is in.
"With no power, comes no responsibility"
This has many layers of truth.
I have come to the thought that the reason why everyone keeps saying, there is nothing I can do.
There is nothing anyone can do, because the corrupted are too powerful.
This makes it easy, how can someone feel responsible for something, if there is nothing that they can do.
It is not true.
It is everyones fault, who is old enough to realise the way things are.
We all let the problems get this big. Apathy, inaction, lazyness, distractions, and life.
These things cause us to avoid our own guilt in this.
If something is wrong, you have to find a way to fix it.
If you don't it is called apathy.
If something is causing other harm you do something.
If you don't it's called inaction.
If something can be changed for the better, you change it.
If you don't it's called lazyness.
If you realise what is wrong, you do something about it.
If you won't because you are too busy, these are distractions.
If everything can be better, it is called life.
I know people feel like they can't do anything, and that let's them off the hook in their mind,
but it is just a lie. Lie to yourself, but don't blame anyone else if the world goes to garbage.
You can't blame the government, if you never stood up to it.
You can't blame wall street, if you never looked into how it worked.
You can't blame the banks, if you didn't say anything about it until it is too late.
"With no power, comes no responsibility"
We have always had the power to change things, to make things better.
When something is important, you find a way.
So find your way.
