When you go and vote in the GE, you will personally influence the image on screens on millions of TVs as a 3 would have been a 2 had you not voted.
I wonder how many other things we personally change in the world on a large scale just by doing mundane things.
I have long thought about the impact of making a decision when driving or cycling that holds up traffic or pedestrians for a moment.
In a busy street all those cars and bikes and people have had their journeys slightly altered by you. Someone has to stop at the lights when they could have gone through had you not turned left and caused that 1 second delay.
Someone might miss a flight. Someone might die due to wrong place, wrong time or you might have saved their life.
Just leaving your house and doing things is causing so much of a shitshow of events you are totally unaware of.
