To be or not to be...

An activist? Cliche and lame, yeah I know. Be really, I've been toying with the idea of activism and/or volunteering. I rarely, if ever, watch the morning news. They report about the atrocities going on, and I can help but think...really, this is what my fellow human think is worth their time? The killings, the destroyed lives, the major and minor wrong doings; the attempts to control every facet of others lives. I don't get it; isn't one's life busy and full enough without turning around and nit-picking others?

So, my confusion has started to inspired my wish to interfere with those who interfere with malicious intent.

I don't even know where to begin. Do I volunteer at a shelter, animal or otherwise? Do I try to intern at a local political center?

Or...

do I just watch the world go by, doing it's idiotic dance of control or attempt to control others?

For while I do not dispute that change can occur, were you determined enough to enact it, more problems arise to replace the positive changes.

How can one cope? I fight and change occurs; truth and justice surface. One down, a million and more to go? How can I possibly focus on one issue? We are bogged down by so much wrong; makes me wonder if we can ever rise above the petty bull and reach a more level headed society.
More level headed and moral. How about a justice system that realizes that the human race has a lot of negative behavior patterns? That no longer holds themselves to an ideal that is often impossible to reach and/or maintain.

Ugh...
