The Y generation may do some good, if we still have our souls by the time we can make a difference!

The "Y generation"? The entire notion of distinct "generations" is nothing but bullshit. One little fact that must be accounted for is that people are born every second. There is no "generation". Its simply a marketing ploy, for the most part.

The way I see it, my vote may not really count, but maybe I'm not meant to be here to change the world through my vote. Maybe the reason I am here is to help the world in some smaller fashion, such as in the work that I do.

that mantra is always dissapointing to me. Anything humans can do can be undone by humans as well

the only thing we cant change in this world is how long it takes for it to go around the sun and how long it takes to spin on it axis. I believe one day we will be able to control the weather as well. This scares me. One day will will have to pay a weather bill to have sunny days and rain water....

Do you think there is a time limit on 'trying'?

---

Not necessarily, there is always a possibility in change of tactics, attitude, mind set, all of these influencing the result.

There might be however, in some cases, a will limit... which doesn't mean that if one would of kept trying one would of never succeeded.

So you don't think anyone is incorrigible beyond help?

No

BlueCoyote said:

I prefer doing instead of trying in regards of the NOW.
If it doesn't work, I still can label it a 'try'

---

Doing IS trying until one sees the results.

BlueCoyote said:

So trying doesn't exist for me, because if something doesn't work, one hasn't done something right

---

Yes but it's important to be aware of the fails in order to learn from them so next time we don't repeat the same mistake. If we choose to ignore the "I did wrong" we could fall into the repeating trap.
I think you might refer to the fact that we shouldn't let ourselves emotionally left down by our mistakes, which is something else, nevertheless, this implies accepting our mistakes and requires acting in consequence .

BlueCoyote said:

Hmm, no worries about emotionally lettings down here
I simply think, if something doesn't work, and one is 'aware', one will recognize it and adapt oneself to the most possible results he had in intention. Not to give up all the doing, just adjust it in a workable matter.
Therefor the 'try' is never an option.

---

I look at "trying" as something in the process of doing... I think it's an issue about perceiving definitions here
