OK, I got too carried away w/ politcal-social-economic-government issues; my mistake

My mistake was to rant and rave about how the'system' as I see it from my current POV has many faults, and yes, I sat and criticized about it because I felt completely without power and unable to do anything to change it.
It would be much better to stop focusing on social systems as a whole and instead focus on what I can actuallydo right in front of me in myown little world. That's how most people live anyway, besides it's the only way I can find enough 'power' to be able to 'do' something.
I can't stand feeling utterly powerless and not capable of doing anything and that is what Ihave been feeling so muchall thetime lately. It's been driving me crazy.
And the people around me drive me crazy too. My new roommate speaks in a incomprehensible languase that only she knows what she's saying, and she's driving me nuts. These other ladies who live with me drive me nuts too, they're so full of anger and attacking cause no one has any power. It's awful to live in extreme oppression. I guess that's what made me write about the 'underclass'. It's hell. And it shouldn't have to be that way. Maybe it's my perspective. Actually, I don't have it that bad. I do have it pretty good. (Cognitive therapy to the rescue.)
