Your contribution isn’t worthless. Instead of focusing on what other people (outside of our control) can do, we can only be responsible for ourselves. Just because your impact isn’t the same doesn’t mean it’s not important. Focusing on what we can’t control only adds to a sense of negativity, hopelessness, and frustration that doesn’t lead to solutions. Even in our own sphere, we can influence people with random acts of kindness and being a help where we can. Changing the world doesn’t have to start at a larger scale. The smaller scale matters just as much (if not more- to the person being helped).
