Exist to remedy

Today, just a quote from Confucius.We seem to have such a high tolerance for mediocrity, and for letting things of importance pass. Confucius invites us to see the world afresh, to rediscover the urgency and depth needed to set things straight.I wonder what kind of life and what kind of organisations we'd bring about if we took a vow like this seriously:

"Talent neglected or misguided, investigations into the nature of things not completed, what is right understood but not acted upon, and the lack of energy to rectify what is wrong - these are the things which pain my heart, which I exist to remedy."

-- K'ung Tzu (Confucius)
