RACHAEL’S REFLECTIONS AT 85's avatar

I think it was youthful pride that made me think that I could save the world. But with age I have learned that all I must do is what I can do and that is a small bit for the saving of the world. It’s a relief, but doesn’t remove the responsibility as you well know. Thanks for reading and for your honest comment. Have a safe drive home.

Thank you, Freed. When I first learned the concept of tikkun olam, I felt some relief -- I didn't have to save the world anymore...you know us old hippies, we had to go out and save the world, because it clearly needed it! But now, I just needed to focus on smaller acts, ones that were possible, to repair the world. That seemed doable, you know? It was uplifting, something I could actually accomplish, and feel that I had been a part of helping out. You know? Thanks for the reminder...
