The woman whose comment caused the undertaking of this experiment (we’ll call her Kai) raised her hand, saying from her seated position, “I’m standing!” Kai was physically unable to rise from her chair, her wheelchair tucked in an unused [...] When faced with some of the issues of our time, I can find myself feeling defeated before I start. They feel big. I feel small. What power do I hold??? What difference will anything I do make in this world?? Who would ever listen to anything I have to say??
