But making a better world doesn't necessarily involve sacrifice, does it? We could start with the little things, like giving up our seat for a person who obviously needs it more than we do, or holding the door open, or smiling to random people each day. Just doing those little things would make a difference, a small one, but a difference, and by doing them, we don't make any sacrifices.

Geesh, here I am preaching at people. *puts duck tape over mouth. realizes she hasn't finished yet. untapes ducktape* Ow, that hurt [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. But yah. I think most people in the world are too concerned with themselves, which is another facter that makes a quest (like Frodo's) to destroy evil virtually impossible.
