here are a trio of ideas worth musing on:

“The ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make and could just as easily make differently.” ~ David Graeber.

“What comes to pass does so not so much because a few people want it to happen, as because the mass of citizens abdicate their responsibility and let things be.” ~ Antonio Gramsci.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead.
