I kind of agree with Lurkette.
When I woke up and realised one day that 'nothing really mattered' it was a great relief . . and a pivotal maturing point in my life. A great weight was lifted off my shoulders . . my teenage angst seemed so pathetic looking back on it. I began to really enjoy life and I suddenly felt 'superior' to those still fighting the non-existant fight and I felt a lot more relaxed and at one with the world.
Not everyones actions are equally insignificant though . . . . . . there is the chaos theory that says a wasp stung Hitler's nose . . so he invaded Poland etc etc.
When I left school the headmaster addressed us all in the Hall and said "You are all leaving school today. You have all learned a lot of things. I want all of you remember to keep on learning. I want all of you to remember to read the news every day . . . but I want SOME of you to go out and MAKE the news!"
