Making one small corner of the world a little bit better is a good thing. There's not much use in complaining that it's not as big of an impact as could hypothetically be achieved on some larger issues.

Lol. Someone liking this change is stupid for letting it lift their outlook, right? How stupid is it then to let this comment rob your hope.

:) Alternative reply to lighten mood in odd thread:

  Not to be Debbie Downer but making one small corner of the world a little bit better has no effect on what matters to billions of people.

  We are facing very real global and societal issues that people are actively exacerbating.

  If a dude explaining that there’s not much use in complaining robs you of hope for the world, then please broaden your perspective.
