MAYBE I'm just going through my own little phase, but I've been on a bit of a rampage this past year. I'm not quite sure what started it, maybe when one of my best friends got cancer, or maybe when I adopted my dog instead of just buying a puppy.
I feel like I need to save the world, like I need to help with all those charitable causes, because no one else will. I dont want to just donate some money and move on to watching the tv. I want to tell everyone!
I feel like nobody really cares that much, and I feel like I should over compinsate for thier lack of trying.
I walked and raised $600 for lymphoma research, but I feel like that was nothing, I want to do so much more! I want to speak out to people and help them see. I wish I could convince people, it IS important to recycle.I wish I could convince my smoking friends that throwing your ciggarette butts on the ground is a really shitty thing to do! I wish I could let everyone know that you can adopt a puppy (or a kitten), and save its life! I wanna go to the high schools and talk about the dangers of unprotected sex. EVERY organization I come across, I want to help. but theres only one of me, and theres so much to do. And it hurts me so bad when i see people not caring, like its not their problem. And even worse when people look down upon me cause I do care so much.
Its OUR world. Why shouldnt I try to fix it, just cause I'm not the one who broke it?
My SG name is Karma. I chose that name because it is a word and a philosophy that I use everyday of my life.
Its one thing to do good when its conveniant. But its a whole differant story when you go out of your way to do something good. Pick up one piece of litter once a week, and see how much better you feel about yourself.
Stop throwing your butts in the street, see how proud you'll be. You cant fix the world, but you CAN help.

Someone at a job interview asked me, "if you had my ideal life what would it be?" I told him being a counselor, still doing volunteer work, and have enough money to be able to donate it to my favorite causes. As of right now I can only afford the American Cancer Society and Salvation Army, along with the $1 I donate at Petsmart when I buy dog food. I volunteer at a crisis hotline, for the American Red Cross, and do fundraisers and donation drives for other places here and there, but it doesn't feel like I do anything at all. Almost sounds like what you feel also.
But, the great thing is, the more you say you want to help, the more likely someone will hear you and will also.
