“We have ourselves to change …” (ODAT, 18 September)
Not others. Not what they say or do.
Not the world. Not what it says or does.
Trying to have an effect on others or the world might be others’ role, but it is not mine.
I’ve ‘abused the privilege’, so it has been withdrawn.
Such efforts are the dubious luxury of normal folk.
Since I do not need to change others or the world, I need not pay more than cursory attention.
Enough, only, to navigate my path.
