small people

I would have to disagree with this quote. The fact that we are small, and many are insignificant may be true, but it doesn't have to be like that. We shouldn't be restrained to bettering our corner of the world. We, as human beings, have an internal yearning to be significant. Usually things become more clear the more we age. As we are young, success is the primary focus. Then, as we grow older and success has or has not been fulfilled, we start to question our significance. We start to ask questions. Why are we here? What have I done to better the world? Have I made a difference? Evidence of this is the "mid-life crisis." There is something that happens when we reflect and come to terms with the fact that we have lived out half of our life. Urgency becomes more of a priority. Thus, significance comes to the frorefront of our thoughts rather than things such as success. With all that being said, we should not be limited to bettering our end of the world. We shouldn't be constrained. We should be encouraged. We should be encouraged to help and better every part of the world. Although one person "fixing" the whole world is unrealistic, it is not unrealistic to want to change a region tha is not your own. For example, although the US has its share of problems, insteaad of trying to better an amazing place, people should consider helping those in greater need. Better the place that needs it.
