When I have a moment, I'll actually write about myself, from myself. For now, a quote from Alice Walker that explains why I think and act the way I do:

"You must live in the world today as you wish everyone to live in the world to come. That can be your contribution. Otherwise, the world you want will never be formed. Why? Because you are waiting for others to do what you are not doing and they are waiting for you and so on. The planet goes from bad to worse."
