 When I first became truly aware of my mortality, I think I was about 10 years old. I had this panic to make sure my existence on earth would last longer than the memory of my family, friends, and acquaintances. I believe that there is a part of everyone at elite institutions, especially younger students, that felt at one point that their life is meaningless unless they truly make an impact on the world around them. This comes from a combination of narcissism and the guilt of being afforded privilege and opportunity in an unjust society.

At a certain point – and it usually happens when they realize that their capabilities and chances of enacting great change – they realize that it is okay just to be happy and have a good life. This means meeting your material needs and your passion/self-actualization needs. You don’t have to necessarily make an impact or change the world; it is not about result. It is about doing your best to be happy and sane during your short time on earth.

Binary Fallacy

There aren’t two choices, if the scientist leaves the facility, she will realize that there are a number of other jobs that would interest her and different ways of benefitting rats than freeing the particular ones in cages. Similarly, my choices are not between representing big oil/big banks and working in public interest. There are a range of legal fields in between.
