[QUOTE="Blockinlick, post: 5091, member: 234"] I feel like that's a way of turning a blind eyes to society's problems. I can't just sit idly by while dangerous ideologies shape the social landscape of the world my daughter will grow into. As a singular voice, I can only hope to do so much. It's true, but let's think about one of my favorite quotes. [I]"Why do we fear traveling back in time to the past so that such a small change can't have too big an impact, yet we act like there's so little we can do to shape the future as individuals?" [/I] The more effort I put into influencing the intellectual path of society, the bigger the positive ripple effect I will cause over generations. And it's not just about the growth of everyone else. I participate in vigorous discourse so that I can grow and learn. Most people wont divulge enough to learn anything from them, or the most from them, unless you question them, pressure them, and challenge them. I'm not just some dickhead who goes around contradicting others for the sake of feeling superior. I want them to teach me as much as I hope I teach them. I actually get excited when I encounter someone I disagree with that can actually challenge me and make me question my position. I see being proven wrong as sort of an intellectual Zenkai. I don't just get upset, I learn from it and grow from it. Then I come back more intellectually powerful. All of that said, I will continue my growth and I will continue to teach others as well. I feel it is my duty towards my legacy to offer this world something, since a great work is not in the cards for me. [/QUOTE]
