That’s kind of how I feel lately. I’ve always tried to act well, be kind, etc, but sometimes all I feel like is I’ve exhausted myself for no reason. Society is too big to see the consequences of your actions I think.

The differences my choices have made are so imperceptible as to be invisible.

My brain evolved to eat berries with a few dozen of my best friends and relatives. Not deal with eight billion humans.

I don’t believe you
I also have a hunch that if it’s others helping you, you see a lot more value in their effort, than if the roles were reversed.
Also, even just a quick look at your post history. You’ve put smiles on people’s faces. What will they do with that? It can be a difference of how they treat the next person, the difference in mood to stop for someone who looks like they need help. A renewed hope for the good in humanity. It’s so much, and I’m way too wasted and tired to go into this much further.
Maybe you’ve contributed 81.9% to a person turning to compassion instead of sociopathy with a single action.
Maybe by “so imperceptible as to be invisible” that’s kinda what you meant, and I pissed you off now. Shit happens, friend :)

I hate this Chicken Soup for the Soul bullshit but I’m glad you took the time to reply.
