Lo que leí me hace recordar que es ácil desasociarnos de eventos desa radables del mundo. Muchas veces, no sentimos la necesidad de tomar acción y cambiar el mundo porque pensamos que no nos a ectadirectamente.

Esto hace pre untarme sobre el uturo porque si las eneraciones uturas no están dispuestas a poner el trabajo para hacer el cambio social y simplemente ser transeúntes y ver el mundo descender a la oscuridad, no habrá esperanza para el mundo. Por lo tanto, necesitamos ase urarnos de que estamos haciendo nuestro papel para hacer el mundo un lu armejor.
