This is why I created the oath of the Knights of Non-Aggression and wrote my version of the Individual Declaration of Independence. But they let those for whom the words work communicate their principles to the world. Focus more on the effort than the result. It's like that old eastern saying that happiness is not a destination, but the road. A road must have a destination for the traveling of it to have meaning and therefore be satisfying, but if you live only for the arrival moments, you doom yourself to a life with few moments of joy.
Life can be richer than that.
My life is richer than that. On top of that, it feels good to be doing something that, in concert with the free cooperation of others, may just touch someone far enough inside that they too cease to be a harmless little fish. And I relish the thought of what will happen if I am a part in the unleashing of schools of such fish. And I feel satisfaction in knowing that while I may or may not be able to create whole schools on my own, no schools will form if single individuals, acting independently, do not make it their business to do their part. I feel great satisfaction, pride, pleasure, and comfort because I know I am doing what I can.
