I'd like to think im an optimist - I try to think of situations or problems in the grand scheme of things. This approach tends to leave me with a sense of insignificance in the face of global issues, whilst making my life seem relatively unimportant to the general way of things. This presnets me with a dilemna. Do I try to lead my life without concern of these issues, reaffirming that I am only one man, and can do little about such things, or do I try to make a (albeit insignificant) stand about issues. Ignorance truly is bliss.Time shall tell, perhaps I may be able to find a middle ground, where my daily life is not impacted too greatly, but things are progressing. Edmund Burke said in 1762: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Am I a (that) good man?Frank Turner said in 2007: "I'm young enough to be all pissed off, but I'm old enough to be jaded". I'm not sure about the age desriptor, but I feel 'jaded' before I've really tried to change things. I seem to be in the same purgatory as Frank.
