The purpose of life
is not to be happy.
It is to be useful,
to be honorable,
to be compassionate,
to have it
make some difference
that you have lived
and lived well.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is why I edit Wikipedia.
[F]ighting about what I love
can change what I love
in ways I cannot anticipate.

[W]ith the best of intentions
and the brightest of ideas,
I can [damage] what I seek to defend.

The editors' curse.
It sometimes does not have
so much to do with
what is right and wrong
as how one is to
respond rightly to what is wrong
because there are going to be wrongs
[ • • • ]
"We" are going to commit wrongs
whoever "we" are,
and "they" are going commit wrongs
whoever "they" are.
We are all in here
together [...]
and we bring our histories with us.
— Kathleen Flake
