    It doesn’t hurt, and if enough people can show common courtesy, maybe yes. But doing nothing will absolutely prove useless.

        In before you get shit for being defeatist:

        I get where you’re coming from. It’s overwhelming. What can you or I do to fix the world?

        Nothing. You or I or any one individual cannot do it all by ourselves.

        But that doesn’t mean we give up. We just start small. And maybe, just maybe, someone watching will feel inspired to do the same. And then, maybe, we can build an army that can and will tackle the bigger problems. Maybe not.

        But we won’t know until we try. And even if it doesn’t work, you can walk away knowing you tried. And honestly that’s more than most people can genuinely say at the end of the day.

        And what do you really have to lose that you haven’t already lost?
