“What if, instead of planning our exercise regimens,
we focused our intentions on all that is undesirable in human activity — wars,
bigotry, brutality, the despoiling of the earth — and sought to address it?
What if instead of making a milquetoast resolution, we made airtight
commitments?...
“The task of improving the world may seem impossible,
but it isn’t. All it takes is the proper sequence of correct discrete
decisions. Decisions are just resolutions with teeth.”—Essayist Roger
Rosenblatt, “Resolve About Something Bigger Than Yourself,” The New York Times,
