We can't physically go and end slavery by ourselves That's not something we have the physical ability to do. Are we financially capable of making a difference instead? $5 raised to fight slavery is more than $0 but it may play a very small seemingly insignificant role in the big picture, but it will play a role even if it's a small one. We must accept our limits and we must be okay with doing so lest we curl into a ball Ashamed that we cannot solve all the world's problems single-handedly and instead do nothing at all.
