when we're talking about all the evils in the world and all the things that are wrong,

we can also start with what we have the most impact over and where we have the most control.

If everyone picked an issue and dedicated themselves and their resources to solving it,

we'd start ticking a lot of these boxes and we'd start making a lot of progress.

We don't have to solve every problem. And the fact

that we won't solve every problem does not exempt us from trying to solve some problems.
