Joan Didion says:

"I am not telling you to make the world better, because I don't believe progess is necessarily part of the package.  I'm just telling you to live in it, to look at it, to witness it.  Try and get it.  Take chances, make your own work, take pride in it.  Seize the moment."

Hence, the Sunday question:

Do you agree with Didion that "progress is not necessarily part of the package" and thus, our goal should be a fully engaged and present existence rather than a struggle to make the world better?

I think by doing the second you make progress on the first. I think by working in your strengths and being fully present in where you are and what sings to you you can contribute to the first.
