It’s Not Gonna Change The World

Among the multitude of things to choose, the man chooses something to do. Something that motivates him. Something that he feels is important.

It isn’t much really, in the grand scheme of things.

The man lives in Guatemala. In that land there is a big trade in parrots. People like pets. And this particular kind of pet has a special skill. It can talk back at you. What’s not to like?

But the parrots in Guatemala, don’t get treated very well. When they are captured they are kept in atrocious conditions. It causes psychological damage. Yep, they suffer mentally.

So our man tries to raise awareness. And when he manages to rescue some of these parrots, he looks after them, he loves them, until they are ready to be freed back into the wild.

And as those parrot fly free again he says with quiet humility….

It’s Not Gonna Change The World”.

And you can’t argue with that.
