Sometimes working on the smaller problems can be more rewarding than being a drop in the bucket for bigger problems.

- fulafel 8y agoYes, hence the "or" :)
- speedplane 8y agoYour “or” referred to significant maladies. By smaller projects, I’m referring to something smaller than that. Creating a government website as a contractor, allowing folks to communicate across great distances, programming accounting software for a hospital, building test hardware for a racecar... none of these will save the world, but there is plenty of meaning in each, depending on the person.
- detaro 8y agoWhich would clearly fit the part before the or: "meaningful to you personally"?
- speedplane 8y agoFair, my point was only that there are ways of being gratified without succumbing to the cliche of changing the world.
