Is it always there, always the same for you? Does it adhere to a universal standard? Why is it that sometimes there seems to be so much of it and other times none at all? What happens to it? Sometimes you feel it lingering around you. You watch the clock. It hardly moves. You’re waiting for something to happens say at two o’clock, but the clock’s hands seem stuck together at one, unable to push each other away and two o’clock looks like it will never come. You feel dismayed believing you will wait forever.

But above all, the world needs dreamers who do."

I chose this short quotation because it exemplifies the mood of most of what I have written this past year in my column. By writing about issues that affect our everyday lives, I hope to have helped elicit action to correct or change things for the better.
