In the whole grand scheme of things it is easy to view people as being small and insignificant—I mean right now there are over 6 billion people on this planet, and there have been many before us and will be many after us. However I do not at all agree with this quote. I do feel like people should work to make their area of the world better, but should also strive to make other areas better. Humans are all interconnected with one another so I feel like when people work together to make any place better, be it halfway around the world or their own backyard, it will have an effect on countless others. For example, my church that I go to back home it raising money to build a church for the people in Haiti. Once this church is built, so many people will have access to a church that might not have before or that may have previously known nothing about God. Though the whole church working together to raise funds to build this church we are having such a large effect on people that we have never even met.
