A brilliant reflection; more so considering it was a random freewrite. I think it is heavy enough.
I could not agree more on how easily we fall into the trap of playing the system's game and use most of our useful time on useless/inproductive things.
That being said, I think it is also good to speak up once in a while and leave a record of our possition on important affairs, even if the very statement of our opinions make little different at a given time.
Hopefully, those reactions can escalate and promote the kind of change we hope will benefit mankind.
In the mean time, I think it is good to focus on that we can change and matters.
Hope Ms @smallsteps feels better.
I agree as long as speaking isn't all that gets done. In some way, I feel that we have all been turned into politicians looking to promote ourselves for election, without having to deliver on what we say.
