“. Much as an organization is unlikely to invest millions of dollars in a product that has a small chance of serving many customers, you don’t want to devote thousands of hours of your learning and development time to an area for which there is little demand from your employer or community. This is one of the critiques of the “follow your passion” advice — that it presumes you are at the center of the world, and pursuing your own joy (not service of others) is the objective.

Exploring specific actions to take, starting with this question, allows you to continually redirect your talents to what's needed most in the social circles close to you.”

“I tried to think optimistically, but nobody came. Time began to behave so strangely. Wait and see. Times like these come for us all. The particulars will be different, but times like these will surely come for you, and when they do, there will be no pulse in the world. No heartbeat. Seconds and minutes won't behave.

It is a fundamental conviction that every person is sacred and made in the image of God. It requires pursuing whatever allows people to flourish and fighting everything that crushes life. That means that all these difficult issues -- the military, guns, racism, the death penalty, poverty, and abortion -- are connected, and we need a moral framework that integrates them. That's what it means to be pro-life for the whole life.”
