More On My Experiences.

You know I used to think I could single handedly change the world. My mother used to tell me this story. She said she sent many letters, saying they should anesthetize animals when they produce meat. And because of her letters, they adopted that practice. I told her that was impossible, one person's letters no matter how many couldn't affect the outcome of laws, of history even. But she insisted, that's what happened. I even thought that for a while. Maybe if I sent one letter to an editor or congressman I could alter a policy or change a law. My composing skills, at least when it came to using emotion for persuasion, are atrocious. So I thought maybe if I used inspiring quotes or quoted Shakespeare it would make a difference. But I'm sure it never did. After I got online I found most of my emails and other correspondence were just ignored. I eventually found I really had little meaning, even little worth to some people. They even thought they could toss me away somewhere or even take my nice things sometimes, maybe because I enjoyed them too much or maybe they had other reasons. I know for a while I thought that my thoughts and a fateful bus ride I tried taking for the first time in January 1988 altered world events and created an international scandal. But I eventually found that never happened.

But now it seems like maybe the first thing I thought was true, maybe in some way. That my life now is changing world events and altering history. I still doubt it, but I have reason to believe it too. Is that true? Is that what is happening now?
