51: Who would you want to “wake you up before you go go”? #LifeWideLearning16 @MrChase
— Ben Wilkoff (@bhwilkoff) February 21, 2016
A friend at the day gig questioned aloud what good the work we do has in the world. In the face of the extreme tragedies and chaos occurring daily, there are few occupations and roles I could imagine feeling as though they had maximum impact on the world or individuals. Luckily, as I’ve said before, I’ve got faith that we’re all working on all the stuff that needs attention all the time.
Still, I replied to my friend with the thing that keeps me showing up at the office every day. While I’ll never know all the good we do in the world, I’ve got to believe things are a little better at the end of the day than if we’d done nothing.
Thus, waking up, getting out of bed, and facing each day.
There are forces of ignorance at work in the world, and they are much more pernicious than evil.
