Keeping the Sacred Flame

When have we done enough?  At what point can we look at the world around us and say “this I have done, and it is good.  I’m finished.”

There’s no such thing.  There’s always more to do, until the world is perfect – and that’s impossible.  So “enough” is a moving target, and it’s always farther than where we are.

Is this a bad thing?  I don’t think so.  I think it’s part of life, and even a good part.  It gives us reason to move, to work, to try and strive.  It is what we are.  But it means we cannot say that we are done, we are finished.

It’s easy to say we’ve done enough.  And sometimes, we need to take a break, to give ourselves a chance to reflect and rest.  But we need to come out of that reflection and resting and move forward again to make the world better.

It’s never enough.  But every bit helps more than we can ever imagine.

Questions:
What do you do to make things better?
What would you like to see done?  How and why?
What is the biggest obstacle you face towards doing?
