ch. 7&8

I have learned that success is not a fixed address; we don't arrive there. We may pause there, standing still to reflect on our next move. But if the goal is social transformation, the next step is rarely obvious. (pg 209)As, society is always changing we might not know what to do next because the circumstances for change might be different. Even when working in different societies it can be challenging as you cannot approach all of them the same.


I connected with pg 229 where it says "There are no perfect people. There are no perfect projects. We are not measured against perfection, only called to do what we can, to set out on an exploration to an unimagined destination, an imagined good." This is something that I can connect with because personally I often times try to do things perfectly and end up being too hard on myself when it is not. Having this reminder that nothing is perfect is good because it reminds me to slow down in a way and just do the best I can because that is all anyone can do. 

Question: How can one suggest to someone to start looking at the complex relationships, if they haven't ? Is worth trying to change the world if you are unsure of the outcome or if you'll even be around to see it?
