Because we cannot achieve a level of excellence in altruism, does it follow that we have to stop living the excellent standards of service to others? And while the perfect note of charity is not within our reach, are we going to renounce living good levels of achievement in the field of being useful to the social group? And if we cannot personally achieve ideal levels of spreading kindness, are we going to give up unfolding our regular efforts of caring? And even if our regular efforts of benevolence are far from becoming a daily practice, are we going to avoid doing what is good sporadically, intermittently or precariously?
It is by persevering with the possible that we will conquer the impossible. Let’s start now with what is feasible, exercising our own abilities, and, one day, we will be able to unfold what today is just probable, but not very plausible.
