I find myself nodding along as I read. I would like to suggest that you do in fact make the world a "better place." As one man the scope of change and maybe the duration of that change might be limited, but through the simple act of helping a neighbor, finding some peace with yourself, or befriending a dog, you have improved the world on a human scale. <br /><br />There seems to a feeling in this day and age, that to matter our actions and choices must "help" all of mankind. I know that personally I don't want the help. I like to struggle with my failures, qualified successes, and managed retreats from the messes I find my way into. I usually learn something either concrete or about myself, and if I'm lucky both. When these trials become more than I can handle alone, I want to be able to choose to whom I turn for help. After I've struggled through with the aid of another and we as a team have won, lost, or agreed to lie about it and say we overcame the challenge, there is no greater feeling than standing side by side with a friend. For a brief moment and on a very human scale, I really do feel like my little corner of the world is a better place, and if I was lucky enough to be the friend helping out maybe both of our worlds are a little better. <br /><br />I've lurked and read your blog for months, and I believe that you are making your corner of the world a better place, for yourself and those like minded neighbors. Even if all you're doing is leaving well enough alone, in my book thats better than "fixing" it for everyone else. Thanks again for writing the blog, and listening to my late night ramblings.Cliff (Red Dog)noreply@blogger.com
