The idea is each day one has the potential to change their lives and others lives in valuable ways.
I think the word society might beat the word we in many cases. We might sound like you and I, where society might mean a general population that might or might not include you and I. Semantics seem important here when talking about collective sins and oppression. Assessment without Assignment, factors into Don’t Judge, Without sin cast the first stone. My goal in many of my writings is to reduce systemic oppression, damage done by things that get turned up by society in general.
In engineering calling out damage and problems is useful, while it might not be feeling of ideal appreciation. Both concepts are important. Of note I have a BS and MS in Computer Engineering, I am not a Professional Engineer.
The road is broken, it needs to be fixed.
The road is broken, but people should be thankful we have roads to drive on, Soldiers (not me) died for me to have the right to drive on those roads.
Too clinical assesment of all problems might lead to feeling everything is wrong, nothing is good, nothing is worth saving or fighting for.
For some time now, I have felt as though my inputs (on computer networks) have been controlled in ways I don’t think are close to all value added for me or others. Golden Rule I want people to have networks and computers that add value for them, able to see the problems as delivered to self helps facilitate feedback for better experience for all users. Output is dependent upon input, might be a half hearted way to say output is not valued?
The problem with thinking one can’t change their own life, other’s lives in valuable ways? Should we fix that? Can’t, out of my control, someone else’s wheelhouse. Should we make Peace, try to inspire a better Economy? Peace as a downhill slope, all I have to do is walk down a path that increases my momentum. Or Peace as a tall mountain? I don’t have oxygen cannisters, not really made for altitude sickness. Can’t make progress is debilitating, thoughts of I Have a Dream speech by Martin Luther King, Jr – “100 years later…”.
