Do you ever just think about the world? It really is a half-filled glass. You can look at it as half full, and I'd say you really should. I do. But remember the other half is missing. That is the bleakness. It's amazing but also bleak. It's so big and crazy and complex. I want to live my life trying to tip the balance, even if it's just a little. I'd love it if the glass was just a little more than half full. It would be amazing if we could expose the corruption, and end the fighting. For a species capable of doing such remarkable things, we can be pretty stupid. So much of our time, effort, resources, and those pictured pieces of paper we chase because they apparently represent that... money, is spent on destruction, on hurting other people just like ourselves. The world is so big and crazy. We're really not on it for long. There is no pre-existing meaning, we give it meaning ourselves. It's bleak, but we just need to do what we can with the time we have. Let's create a better planet for those who will come after us. Fuck the system. The world is so much bigger than that. It's bigger than any of the words we use to decribe anything. There's no way the complexity of it will ever be described with justice using just words. You can't capture that. Join me in the revolution

I recon that to a large extent you can change your own micro world and that in turn has an affect on the bigger picture. When i had my eldest 14 years ago, I stopped contact with almost everyone I knew. Some of them were among the best most loyal friends I've ever had and I'd shared experiences with them that bought a closeness I don't think everyday life normally provides.
However, I wanted my baby to grow up in a healthier, less dangerous, more traditionally moral world and so I changed mine. I have always believed you should put back into this world, wether through voluntary work, leading a green lifestyle or whatever. I have changed in ways I believe are positive because of things I have learned from other people and I hope my children will grow up with my ideas of whats right and wrong. In my view all this no matter how small is my way of changing my world.
I feel very strongly that by standing by and doing nothing, you are making yourself part of whatever IT is, you are giving permission for something you don't like to carry on unhindered.

My thoughts:
1. Quickly accept what you cannot change.
2. Be the change you want to see.
1 - Safe option. Least hassle and keeps the glass of cognition/concentration more than half full.
2 - Risky option. Fraught will challenges. OOH, A CHALLENGE! This option! This option! May get you sacked.

I heard someone say something similar on here but I worked in an old people's home when I was younger and any regrets could almost always be guaranteed to be over something they had NOT done.
Risky option great! Look from all angles and cushion ur fall as much as possible eg legal rights, line up another job first. When a man and women are living stereotypical roles. If the man is in work that makes him feel negative and powerless, that negativity ricochets through the family.

GOOD HEART
A good heart is both important and effective in daily life, If in a small family, even without children the members each have a warm heart for each other. A peaceful atmosphere will be created. However if one of the persons feels angry, immediately the atmosphere in the house becomes tense.
Despite good food or a nice television set you will loose peace and calm. Thus things depend more on the mind than the matter. Matter is important, we must have it, we must use it properly, But in this century we must combine a good brain with a good heart.
...H.H. The XIV Dalai Lama
