Someday I'll tell you my story and how it relates perfectly to that quote.

We can discuss it on our way to the snack bar.

Yes,

I'll treat you to a dancing hotdog, and you can let me nibble your gumdrops.

I agree with that in the case of true accidents, but I think that, in the case of societal problems, the ideal person makes a conscious effort to do what can be done to change things for the generations that follow, and sometimes challenging dominant groups cannot be done gracefully.
