Changing the world...
I was sitting in Starbucks today and purchased a Big Issue of a vendor outside (£2 it was!!)... I started flicking through the magazine and came across advert after advert of organisations asking for money for the homeless, sick, poor, kids, diseases... You name it, it was there. The same adverts asking for money, YET every year nothing changes.
I can give ten pounds and it will help a few people, I can run a project and it will help a few people but how can I help change the world? How can I or us few change the mindset of the greedy and the ignorant (i would include myself in that definition).
Where on your list is trying to change things for the better? Is having money yourself and getting drunk an higher priority than trying to change the world.
I do wonder, a lot, and it makes me feel so fucking god damn useless. Is anything we do going to change the world..
Education is the key, this is what we get told.. this is the thing that can change the mindset of everyone. But then you go to school/university and you get told your the top 1% in the world, you get told ur doing this to GET A GOOD JOB and EARN GOOD MONEY and to compete and stamp down on those that get in the way. Top organisations being unethically exploiting other countries (but this is ok, cuz its for money.)
I don't know, theres really no point to this post.. Just sometimes, things make me feel so useless.
