On Thinking, Drinking, and Taking Action
Lately I have felt apathetic. What can I do to make the world a better place? There are so many problems in the world, and so little that one person can do about them.
I was inspired today by this glass design. It shook me into believing that I can make a difference. Glass designer Inna Alesina writes:
The user [has] to be careful while filling the glass to cover the hole with his/her thumb whilst drinking thus one could put a stop to waste (in the global sense) with one's own hands.
I can take action by putting my finger over the hole in the glass, as Alesina suggests. I can choose to live according to my needs rather than according to my wants. And I can choose to continually re-evaluate my needs to make sure they are not disguised wants.
I will stand up against the pervasive greed and consumerism that blights this world. I will break my chains of depression and apathy. I will march on for justice.
