Have you ever gotten that feeling where you are really, really......I don't know, like, excited or something? Like you really want to do something to help or make things better? You're all pumped up to save the world or bring water to Africa or cure cancer. It's like this ethereal anticipation and you know that good's gonna happen and that you're gonna make it happen. And then you look around your room and can hear your mother's voice in your head: "Oh, sure, you'll save the world from global warming but you won't pick up your dirty socks? You can't be a philanthropist if you don't have clean socks to wear, it's not hygienic!"
