[Dialogue] Fwd: From The New Yorker app. Article on Ophelia Dahl and Partners in Health

[James Wiegel]

Article gets at one of the life questions I wrestle with these days.  
> Thirty years of experience has not made persevering any easier for Dahl.  "This work feels more crushing and sadder to me than it's ever felt--you see all the ways in which you've failed to do certain things, even though there's incremental progress," she said.  "I am unfailingly optimistic, though.  I think to not be optimistic is just about the most privileged thing you can be.  If you can be pessimistic, you are basically deciding that there's no hope for a whole group of people who can't afford to think that way."  Ophelia Dahl via Ariel Levy in The Poetry of Systems, The New Yorker 12/18&25/2017
