Mindset

A kindness for an evil man is still a kindness. A merciful act for a cruel man is still an act of mercy. Forgiveness of those who do not ask for it is still forgiveness. Charity when you can afford to give is still sacrifice. Loyalty to those who have none is still integrity. Effort in pursuit of the impossible is still progress. Our actions may often seem futile and feel as though they make no difference. This is because our expectation is that our efforts will change something in the world. The world does not change because our efforts are accepted, it changes because our positive efforts change us. And those changes need no acceptance from others.
