This sends such a vitally important idea, and much too often overlooked. We underestimate the power an individual can have. And while perhaps it would be rare for an individual to affect the entire world, they could very well save a person’s life.
In Anthony Jeselnik’s newest comedy special, he debunked the false empathy displayed by the public on social media after a tragedy. He says it best: “Do you know what your thoughts and prayers are worth to those people? Nothing, absolutely nothing. All you are saying is, ‘don’t forget about me… don’t forget that I have problems too…’. Go outside, go out to the streets, riot, protest, demand change, donate blood, donate money, donate your time, save someone’s life.
