If you wish to provide this, zetherin, I applaud you, however, my applause comes with a caveat; do not fret over the insurmountable depth of any persons apathy nor their ignorance, for it is not your place to change them.
Why is it not my place to offer consideration? Even without my motive, being to benefit humanity, I will still inevitably change people. Hell, you're changing me right now; I've been changed having been on this forum, and yes, ignorance-wise. And I do fret over the insurmountable depth over people's ignorance, including my own. To not fret, would to not be me.

I feel like I have a responsibility to help others around me consider. No, I don't go the activist route and push people, condemning them for maybe not considering something, but I do try to spread knowledge, 'planting seeds' as I cited earlier. I do not put myself on a pedestal, for that would be a grave mistake. Many have the potential to look above the clouds, but don't for whatever reason. I'd like for myself and others to provide them this opportunity, if possible. New perspective.
