I hear a version of this question from people all over the world: Why try to effect change without a guarantee of success? Why continue to engage when justice seems impossible and equity feels unreachable? Here is the best answer I know. We may not be able to fix all the problems or make our world perfect, but we can help the people around us who are suffering. And through our efforts, we can change ourselves. Striving every day to live a life of love and service will ultimately make us kinder, calmer, and happier.
