“You’ll never be able to make “it” better. You’ll only be able to make yourself better. On that level, you can get a lot done. It’s an endless sequence of choices you make. It’s self-governance. As a tolerant, compassionate, breathing autonomous being, you go forth into the stream of Homo sapiens. Thinking anyone will see things your way is a waste of time. The best you can do is look after yourself and learn to read the room.” (from “Sic” by “Henry Rollins”).
