I'm not a saint, some people would say i'm a worse person than most because i'm well aware of whats going on but i choose to not let it effect my life. maybe i'm just justifying my own selfish existence but i think that fighting in the sense that i renounce my possesions and go and help the people or be an activist is not going to help in the long term, it doesn't change anyone who can make a difference's mind.
The people who can make a difference to how the world is run are the people in the developed countries who have the ability to choose who runs their country. So i keep trying to get through to them.
As i said before, if you can prove me wrong, please do. Show me the evidence, i'm not close minded, i think for myself and these are the conclusions i've drawn after all my research.
