“The truth is: you won’t fix the world. You won’t fix them. You won’t fix yourself. And once you stop trying, you may notice that nothing is broken—not in the way you thought. There is only this aching, flickering moment, alive and dying at once. If you can stand in it—no answers, no rescues, no ground—you may glimpse something softer than resolution. You may glimpse the freedom not to know. And that, finally, is compassion.”
— Robert Saltzman, The 21st Century Self
