pol, self-awareness 

Let me also be clear here: I know I often fail to live up to my own standards, and I know I can never know just how bad at it I am. I try to turn the scathing touch of the caput mortuum on myself first. I know I'm not doing everything I could be doing to make the world better. I know that I'm consciously opting in many places to favor my comfort over others' survival. I recognize the limits of my own empathy. I often fail at not expecting of others what I don't do myself.

@literorrery owning your failures is more important than never failing

it's also important to recognize your limitations- those are not necessarily failures, but a reality.

we don't have infinite capacity to change the world as an individual, no matter how much effort we are willing to put in
