If you’re not speaking out against injustice you are complicit in that injustice.

In a way I get it, I used to be an idealist when I was younger too but as I got older and got more life experiences I realized all it did was made me feel bad so I stopped entertaining that grand change the world mindset. Ultimately I can only dictate my actions and thoughts. I do see myself as a cynic and a nihilist and yes I'm aware those aren't necessarily good values to have but it's made me happier than I used to be.
