Re: Is anyone else burnt out?

No. I've found that actively volunteering and engaging in efforts to bring about change is a lot less exhausting and draining than sitting around talking about it on the internet.

If you're looking at something in the abstract, you're looking at it on a macro scale, and national or global injustice or inequality or disaster is nigh on impossible for a single person to shift. If you're involving yourself on a local level, though, you can effect change. It's on a person-to-person or family-to-family level, but it's still worthwhile, and each success lays the groundwork for future, larger-scale successes.

It is necessary to narrow your focus - pick a few initiatives, or rotate - because there's only so much time and effort it's physically possible to put in, but that isn't a bad thing. Fifteen people all working toward improvement in their own target areas are vastly more effective than those same fifteen people trying to fix everything and ending up vapor-locked because of the scope of that everything, or just dabbling their toes here and there and not actually sticking to anything because there's a new injustice to leap after every few seconds.
