For sure, and that is all we can do. Keep our cards clean. The rest we can try and fight, but as I always tell my dad (who also wants to stand up for the right thing) pick your battles because you cannot help from the grave. There are some things worth sacrificing your own health for, but not everything because otherwise you cannot bring good to this world. There is so much we can do, fighting losing battles is not one of them. Maybe I am wrong, but I feel that we can do so much when we find a place where we can really sow our seeds and see them grow, if I can use a botanical metaphor.

Much truth in what you said here, and strangely I am also hoping to find a place where Papillon can set its roots, to grow in tandem to the seeds of good that we will sow. We don't want to invent a new wheel, as we need to find a needy community that will appreciate all of our efforts. Raithby was mentioned by the Chairlady of our board, and we will go to check out the lie of the land over there soon.
Such is life.
I am sure that you will find it. There is so much unjust suffering in the world that it will not take too much effort to find those who need our help the most.
I had a wonderful discussion yesterday with a young fellow who was so interested in philosophy yet he did not have any education in it. It just shows the need for intellectual discourse in our society, yet few offer these young people the opportunity to help them formulate these questions and answers.
