Should I try to change the world/my country and make it a better place?

Question

Or isn't it worth bothering over? I'm only one person and I don't want to be a politician, so is it worth devoting a good portion of my life to or should I just do other things that I like to do?

Answer 1

It's worth it if you team up with just one person, and they team up with someone else, and so on.

"Each one, teach one"

Answer 2

You don't need to change your country or your world. Just change something about where you live. You know the saying Think globally act locally? Well it is the same. Not all of us can change the world but we can change OUR world. Get involved in your local community at whatever you think needs to be changed.  

Answer 3

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

- Margaret Mead

Answer 4

5 million ex hippies that wasted sunny days holding signs up would say to just do your own thing. Make a difference to those you care about and focus on the attainable.
