  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
