The world does not wait

[livejournal.com profile] zoethe writes about the way the world is, and how it gives no quarter and has no patience.

And she's right - it's a good read, and well worth a look.

The thing is, just because that's the base nature of the world, it doesn't mean we can't do something to soften the blow and make the world more comfortable and livable.

The world may not care, but I do.

I'll maybe agree how that what you *feel* like doing/not doing under such circumstances (or milder ones) may well be primarily innate. It's like response to life threatening danger - some people 'panic' others get very calm and resourceful. But it's not about how you *feel*, like it's about what you DO.

Life is about what you DO. I think that's what she may have been getting at.
