Bingo. Anytime I see a too-large way of thinking, I try to suggesting thinking small. You can’t save the rainforest, but you can plant a tree in your community, you know? And it feels good.
I volunteered as en EMT for about 10 years, until the second kid came, and COVID and all that. It was difficult, took me away from work and my family, long days, mentally and emotionally taxing at times, and one of the more rewarding experiences I’ve had in my life. And it was all done within a few miles of my home. I (like to think) I had an impact on my community, and it feels good.
