...perchance to awaken.

Yes, there are many, many people in the world who have it a million times worse than I do. I'm aware of this, and it breaks my heart that it's the case. It angers me... infuriates me.

I guess that I just try to "think local" in a way... run my yap about the injustices (aka - "wrongs") I see and experience in my everyday life, as opposed to those many, many going on elsewhere. Maybe, that's the only way I could figure out... the only way I thought I could end up feeling as if I might be making any sort of a positive difference in this world, on any level.

Often though, you can get so lost in the little picture that you neglect to focus on the big one. That can make you seem rather spoiled or heartless... but the same can be said about the big picture too, I guess. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in what's going on elsewhere that you end up letting "your own" continue to suffer.

It's such a tricky line to walk. It's so much easier to just talk about the mundane. It's so much easier to just stay... "blind".
