Article gets at one of the life questions I wrestle with these days. <br>
<blockquote>
<div>
<div>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</div>

<div>I thought you would want to read A Reporter at Large: The Poetry of Systems, by Ariel Levy. For Ophelia Dahl and Partners in Health, the time to fix global health care is in between crises. <a href="http://nyer.cm/1PU0O8e" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://nyer.cm/1PU0O8e</a> Download The New Yorker Today app: <a href="http://nyer.cm/ba5wYPW" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://nyer.cm/ba5wYPW</a></div>
