      So much this, people make the world suck and people can easily ruin your immediate world as well. But the right people in your life can not only make your immediate world amazing, they can also be your brothers in arms fighting for a better world with you.

      And if all you accomplish is one tiny little mote of light in this world of darkness revel in the fact you made that little mote of light against the shadows.

        You may not be able to change the world, but you can change the world for a few people.

        I don’t like it when people use light as a metaphor for good and dark as a metaphor for bad. It seems like it might exacerbate racist cultural biases at a subconscious level.
