My Personal Message
I have a favorite personal mantra:
Everything in the world is perfect, including my desire to change it.
Obviously not everything is perfect - dictators lash out violently against their citizens who ask for freedom, politicians cheat on their wives and post it all on twitter, and the Phillies sometimes lose - but the point is that these imperfections create meaningfulness for our lives. If no problems existed, we couldn’t spend our time trying to solve them. That would make for a pretty boring life.
So accept imperfection as a reality, but don’t accept it as an end-state. Work to change the world, but remember that the obstacles you encounter, the imperfections of the world, are the very things that make progress possible.
