To act or not to act

That is the question.

Or more precisely, why should we act—or not?

I understand you may be skeptical about trying to do things for other adults, who themselves have the choice to act or not. But children don’t, and it becomes a responsibility—whether we like it or not.

We are all born in different places, with different status, education, and so on. But we all have at least some influence on the people we interact with frequently: family, friends, co-workers.

The more we have received, the more responsible we should become.

Doing our best at our level means doing our part.

Unfortunately (or not), we cannot do it all ourselves—we have to trust that others will do their part as well.

Some of us have even more influence because of how the world has evolved, thanks to the new communication tools at our disposal.

The time to act is now. The choice to do your part is yours alone.
