Insignificantly important

          There seems to be this subtle belief that since we are only one person we lack the ability to have any sort of relevant impact. Since that reality has already encompassed us, it becomes an excuse not to try. However, Gandhi said "Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it because nobody else will".
          I think for once this a quote that can ring true and as far as quotes go I quite like it. Maybe that's because Robert Pattinson quoted it in the movie Remember Me before I cried my way through the ending and so all the sudden it feels so memorable. Or maybe it's because it's true.
          So often I think we get angry because at first we're upset that we don't truly feel we matter and then all the sudden we've got adults telling us we do and that we'll change the world one day and we assume they're lying. Now for once, we've got a man who admits that individually we aren't really a big deal. There are so many of us that in our lifetime you can't even say that five percent of the world will remember who you were. That seems so depressing but it's logical and it's, to say the least, life. But for once we have a quote that will agree with us and it adds on a positive twist. For a brief moment it does not matter how insignificant we are, because we don't need to matter to everyone, we just need to know that we're irreplaceable. As soon as we develop this knowledge we develop the motivation to 'try' simply in pursuit of becoming the person you are and the person no one else will be.
