Do something seems to be good advice. However, I'm not sure that action will result in a Better World (mostly cause I think that happens in the eye of the beholder... no not the D&D kind).
However, we can fix our own damned lives and that seems to be a helluva lot better than what most people are doing at this point.
Yes, and we should. But then what? I think many people start trying to "fix" their lives but then get caught up in that (because it could always get better, right?) and lose sight of their ability and desire to help fix other peoples lives.
(I do realize that many if not most don't want our help, (or our kind of help) but that is why we must help them without them even knowing it. To quote Futurama's 'God', "When you do things right, people wont be sure you have done anything at all.") <---Is this why the Illu minati are so secret? Are they those that are fighting 'THEM'? Getting of topic.
And you say better is in the eye of the beholder and this seems to hold true for many or most ideas of a better world. But we can all agree on some things. Nobody wants bombs falling around them, (even if they want to drop them elswhere.) Nobody wants to fight in the street over a piece of meat. Nobody wants to be hated just for the color of their skin or their religious upbringing (even if they do it themselves). So yes, the action I propose is to set a "brilliant fucking example," and to shout at the top of our minds, what we as individuals see as right. Even if we are wrong. Just don't stick out, don't get caught.
