A Chinese Proverb

If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. Where there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.

When you think that your voice cannot be heard, and that casting a ballot is altogether insignificant in initiating great change, realize you're looking at the wrong things.  The root of calamity in our world is not because of cross-cultural barriers or general misunderstandings, it is because families are being torn apart.  They are being decimated by ordinary people like you and me.  BUT if we can change the enmity that lies within our hearts into righteousness, our character improves, our families are strengthened, our nation fights for the family instead of against the enemy, and our world finds true peace in the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
