The Eyedropper

Someone said "A single act of charity seems like using an eyedropper to put out a wildfire."  Well, it may not change the world all at once, but why have such a big ego?  Why must your acts of kindness change the world?  It might change you and might even make the day for another person.  The results of course are not up to you.  You are only about your own transformation, but this seems to take place in relationship of some kind that is positive.  By trying to do something kindly or charitably for another person, I seem to get out of myself, and this is a good thing.  Focused on me and my woes, just makes the woes bigger than they are, and keeps me muddled.  Become all that you are meant to be, eyedropper by eyedropper at a time.  Acts of love and kindness are never insignificant.
