I've been wondering why I feel that Buffy is more relevant to me now than ever, and I think you've managed to articulate it for me:
We make the world we want. A lot.
Buffy reminds us that we are the ones with the power to shape our reality. Not that reality is going to bend to our will, but we can make a difference if we work at it — even against terrible odds.
So, thanks for leaving me with hopeful-ish thoughts today. It doesn't happen every day, alas. Just have to remember to put on my slayer boots and start walking.
Today I approached a girl who'd just been pickpocketed and was freaking out. She quickly calmed and didn't feel so alone, I think. I stayed with her through the police report and all that. Just be a human to other humans, and you'll can be Buffy, too!
