It’s interesting to me how different people can live very interesting lives, but at different levels of actual action. We all (hopefully) feel that our lives have some meaning, so regardless of whether you’re an astronaut or a librarian, your daily activities should feel like they have some weight and consequence. It can be hard though when you see some people who literally are a whirlwind of activity–how can you not compare the sometimes simple things you do with people who jet all over the world? But I think they can be comparable, and one is not necessarily better than the other. The most sweeping changes often occur on a small scale at first.

Anyway, Let’s all hope Assmunky doesn’t fall prey to this “scope of action” issue though after today’s comic.
