I cannot change the world, I am not powerful enough to change my nation, but I can change my little corner of the universe by showing compassion to those in need. I have a group of like minded friends and we feed the homeless. If enough of us try to make our corner of the world a better place, I think it would get better, the decision is up to you. You can complain, or you can get involved. Find something that speaks to your soul. . . do that!!!
