Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker believes they are distinct from others because they perceive certain individuals' efforts of bringing about change (through poetry, cards, environmentalism, or kindness towards animals) as ineffective. While others may adopt these methods, the speaker argues that they differ in their belief that such approaches are insufficient. Whether it implies a more assertive or alternative approach to driving change is left open to interpretation.
