A realization
Nov. 2nd, 2006 06:13 pmI've been sitting here trying to put this into words for ten minutes, and it's simply not working.
I need to acknowledge that not everyone shares my interests. When I find something that I think is incredibly interesting or vitally important, and other people don't share that fascination, I can't let that stop me from charging forward and doing it or learning about it or making it happen. The apathy of others is a reason to get more fired up, not a reason to give up because I'm the only one who cares.
I think that's almost what I'm trying to say.
