Yet he still wakes up every day and does everything in his power to save the environment. So the way I see it, how you view the world is irrelevant to what you should and must do. I don't believe or expect that the majority of the world can be better, and I don't believe changes will happen any time soon, but it's still the right thing to do to do everything I possibly can to help that change happen eventually... I mean sure, the people who fight for something they believe is commendable, but the true heroes, and what I aim for is the people who thinks they're gonna lose the fight, yet still would rather die trying because it's the right thing to do.

How you view the world is entirely relevant to what you should and must do, Monkey. It you view the world as irredeemable and corrupt, what possible motivation would a person had to make it better beside self-interest? If you believed the world was forever closed minded and ignorant, why bother to motivate them to care enough? Point is, depending on you perspective and attitude you hold for the world and people around you, it determines the way you'll interact with them, and what actions you'll choose in response. While I too admire heros fighting against the dying light, their beliefs rather strongly influences their continued battle, often to the point of ignoring the reality that they are most likely going to lose.

For me, I rather just live my life and enjoy it to the utmost of my ability, than to fight battles that I not only don't have any interest in, but don't have any stake or interest in the proceedings and outcome. Hence why I choose to patiently answer newcomers question instead of getting mad and trying to chastise into looking through the backlog of threads.
