"We here today are so overprivileged it hurts. If we don’t take advantage of the opportunity we have been given, we are true fools — and callous ones at that. Life is a gift. It’s so easy to matter, to make a difference. It’s even easier not to do either. But then we have failed ourselves and this institution.”
-Terrence McNally
Many in this earth are very overprivileged. It can sometimes hurt because sometimes we fail to realize it. We don't take advantage of the opportunity or opportunities given. Life really is a gift, it actually is easy to matter and make a difference. You just have to stand up and do it. You have to dream up an idea, put it into action, and even then you just accomplished both. It is even easier to just do neither, but of course, your parents will always think you matter. But to the rest of the world- you are on your own to do what you need to do to make a difference and matter. Think of Ghandi, Mother Teresa, and many many more- they all put ideas into actions- passions into actions- look how far it got them! They actually matter to many many people around the world, they have made a huge difference. I guess what I am trying to say is you really can't just sit on the couch and wait for yourself to become known for a difference. Good things take hard work, so good luck!
