A sobering thought… or an empowering one. It depends on your point of view, and who you are. Are you one who relishes taking on more responsibility, or one who prefers to let others take the reigns? Whichever choice you make–you’re still one of us, and still, in some way responsible. The only real question is whether you want to be a large contributor to change, or a small one.
As an example, you can pay particular attention to the way you recycle. You’ll make a small positive difference. If you pay less attention, or don’t bother to recycle at all, you’ll have less of a positive effect, or perhaps even a negative one.
On the other hand, you might choose to make a large difference. You might choose to take on the job of organizing your community to create new recycling initiatives. You might seek out major corporate partners who have created businesses built on the use of recycled materials and would be willing to help your community to a better job, in exchange for their receipt of some of the recycled materials. You might even be an inventor or entrepreneur who creates just such a corporation or other entity that can make a large difference. At that point you’re taking on what I call “Radical Responsibility.”
That’s when you enter the realm of the true wizards.
