: "You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indespensable to the world...The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...people look at reality, then you can change it."
: --James Baldwin

I believe that through writing we can change the world. Many people believe that they are alone in their suffering. If these people were to read about someone who had experienced similar suffering and had survived to tell the tale, then this would influence the way they view their own life. It might even encourage them to take small steps to change their life, thereby changing the world.
