Yes, AND maybe there's even a more basic argument: that your actions don't necessarily have to matter, and that sometimes you do things (or don't do them) just because you think it's more aligned with "the good, the just, and the beautiful". It doesn't matter who sees it, and it doesn't matter if the system changes.
Personally, I've found that idea to be more action-oriented than choosing to believe in an effect that you can't see. For us that read you I think it works; it's a reminder. But for those people that you mention, the systems perspective might be more like the post reasoning that validates the feeling.
But then again, it's a process. The more ways you communicate it, the better. :)
Dont you think "Human-Mattering", and by extension "Human-Action-Mattering" are at core our existential questions and concerns? Do we truly matter, do our actions truly matter in the larger scheme of things in the universe?

I really like that. Thanks.
I am a growing advocate for the idea that we all ARE the system. If we don't change then the system doesn't change.
Thanks for this short expression of encouragement for me!
