That much we understand. But, more important, each of us has an equal ability to shape the destiny of the universe. Ah, that you find more difficult to believe. But I tell you it is so. You do not have to be the leader of the Council. You do not have to be king or monarch or the head of a clan to have a significant impact on the world around you.In the vastness of the ocean, is any drop of water greater than another?No, you answer, and neither has a single drop the ability to cause a tidal wave.But, I argue, if a single drop falls into the ocean, it creates ripples. And these ripples spread. And perhaps - who knows - these ripples may grow and swell and eventually break foaming upon the shore.Like a drop in the vast ocean, each of us causes ripples as we move through our lives. The effects of whatever we do - insignificant as it may seem - spread out beyond us. We may never know what far-reaching impact even the simplest action might have on our fellow mortals. Thus we need to be conscious, all of the time, of our place in the ocean, of our place in the world, of our place among our fellow creatures.For if enough of us join forces, we can swell the tide of events - for good or for evil.","author":"Margaret Weis","tags":["change","destiny","inspirational","philosophy"],"id":185709,"author_id":"Margaret+Weis"},{"text":"If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear the pain of loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater.","author":"Margaret Weis","tags":["dragonlance","dragonlance-chronicles","fantasy","tanis","tanis-half-elven"],"id":204623,"author_id":"Margaret+Weis"},{"text":"Just because a mage wears the black robes does not make him evil.","author":"Margaret Weis","tags":["fantasy-fiction"],"id":228372,"author_id":"Margaret+Weis"},{"text":"Over protective?
