Redefining What it Means to Matter

I don't want this video to sound like a cop-out...like "Oh, you don't have to do big things, you can just live a little life." We all have to work very hard...there are a great many things that need to get done. We need to heal each other, deal with catastrophe and war and increasingly scarce resources. 

These are huge things that are going to be done by many teams of people and absolutely ZERO isolated individuals. But we have to understand that the mythology of the singular hero is dubious at best. In fact, we are all going to work our BUTTS off to make the world better for ourselves and for each other. How you do it is up to you. Thank you for doing it in whatever way you can...for using your abilities and your skills and your talent and your labor for future generations (and all of us today) to feast upon.
