alt Hacker NewsI am immediately reminded of my favourite quote from the Jewish book Pirkei Avot (‘Ethics of the Fathers’):
> It is not your duty to finish the work [of perfecting the world], but neither are you at liberty to neglect it.

I grew up Jewish. I have lost my faith, but that quote is still fundamental to how I see my place in the world.
