I'm powerless

I'm powerless. Almost helpless, in a way we all are. I am just one guy. Alone, my tiny existence doesn't hold much meaning.. but together we can make a difference, do something wonderful no?

I may have been naive to think that way because no matter what life will always be a struggle, and I'll always be powerless. powerless to the way time changes us, the future, powerless to the course of nature, powerless to help any situation because ultimately I only have power over one thing. and that is to choose my own path to walk wherever I think is the right way to walk.

Some people say that one should not be bothered about the way other people live their lives, and that the only important thing is to live your own life with a clear conscience knowing that you never strayed from your own morals and belief. This is because conscience is subjective to everyone, morals and belief is subjective to everyone, and only God has the power to judge the right from the wrong.

In any case no one has the right to decide right from wrong. We can only practice what we think is right and hope that the other party realizes the error of their way. This makes me very sad sometimes because after all, don't we all live in the same World?

I guess we may physically live on the same planet, same country, same street etc.. but our perceptions, minds and hearts don't always point in the same direction. I'm powerless.
