Things are wrong in the world. The world is wrong. And yet you're living your life as if that doesn't affect you. Voluntarily stuck in a perpetual cycle of looking but not seeing, hearing but not listening, feeling but not understanding, wishing but not doing. This book served as a reminder to me that even though I may be purposefully oblivious, doing something about the things you believe in is only the stroke of a pen away. Having a conscience is not bad thing. That is actually what gives meaning to living.
