But if we don't work for change now (locally, as individuals), and do

trivialness.
Scott:
If we actually did do nothing, things would not stay just the way they are.
That is the message of the Tao Te Ching. The road to hell is paved with good
intentions, etc.

You can add my two cents, and make it four. We can meditate and wait
for things to get better, or we can meditate and act and maybe hasten
the enlightenment process. Or we can say everything's just fine, and
watch the downward swirl. Do something, and there's a chance for
things to approach quality; do nothing and the lamb will cry till
comes the wolf.
Scott:
The problem is that you do not seem to realize that you are part of the
problem. As am I, and as are we all. But -- or so I flatter myself in so
thinking -- to recognize that one is part of the problem is the first step
in ceasing to be so.
