The System at Work

Wow. On a very certain level, the cynicism of my personal natural state of being says that this is how the world works...I sorta shake my head and then I continue on as best I can trying to ignore that ever returning thought of impending implosion. If an individual human life becomes valueless, truly a statistic, where does that line that separates any one of us from being that same statistic get drawn? Do we have any influence? Is there any value in the individual?
