No rambling bud. I enjoyed your reply. Your right I am an optimist. I've found it to be a common Buddhist trait. Well, that and the love for sarcasm and bad jokes. I don't know why that is, it’s just what I've observed. I've got friends, who are essentially monks, that will darn near pee their robes laughing at some of the world’s corniest jokes.
Anywho. The way I see things is this. In the very beginning of it all, there was nuthin. Ten to the thirty second power (10v32) later the universe was the size of a basketball. So, imagine what you can do in a day.
So can one individual make a difference? Yes. But I agree with your logic and process. Imagine what two can do. Increase that and boy oh boy. It then becomes, “what can we do in a day”.
Its sites like this that help educate and essentially pollinate information.
20 years ago I was tricking out my cars for as much horsepower as I could. Now... With this sites guidance I trick out my car for the best fuel mileage possible. How’s that for a philosophical change?
So I believe the change in awareness is in motion. Is it fast enough? No, I have people riding my bumper when I’m in the far right truck lane driving 55-60. They flash their lights, honk their horns and tell me their IQ’s by showing me the number one with their middle fingers several times. The speed limit minimum is 50, maximum is 70 and they have 3 lanes to choose from.
So yah, in the bigger picture, things could be going better, but oatmeal is better than no meal.
