Cut and Dry

I am so for right and wrong and justice and fairness. And it's really frustrating that not everyone is that way. It's hard to have expectations that are different than others'. Why is it that so many important people are running around saying things like, "this is how it is going to be," but they're not doing much to make it that way? It's hard to want what is right, but to feel like you are pushing pushing pushing against what is reality and not getting anywhere at all. Like you are the only one still wearing your "Hello, my name is ____" sticker.

How much of justice is mine? What responsibility to it do I have? When do I let up, sit back, do nothing, brush it off? My friend says to "just be yourself, don't let it frustrate you." But how can I do that when that is not me? It takes so much energy to care so much, and I am getting tired.
