"We are all the sum of our choices, but also of the choices made for us by others."
I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it’s just too much. The current’s too strong. They’ve got to let go, drift apart.
The true measure of our success isn't in tons extracted, but in lives impacted.
