We certainly do begin where we are - how could we start anywhere else ? :)
Also, sorry for being such a grump. I've had an increasing number of conversations with steemians trying to make ends meet. That, and my work is about to bring me into contact with some of the most marginalised people in Australian society (in Melbourne at least). I'd be happier of more people here were mindful of these people and how our wealth could help them. Reflecting on this, rather than reacting, I know that you are aware, and acting for change (in a good way).
Yes! Moment by moment, we ARE creating change :)
