ライアン・ダニエル・ドブソンさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ライアン・ダニエル・ドブソンInstagram)「This was supposed to be the photo to go with my announcement that I am participating in a month-long fundraising effort to fight human trafficking, but it is apparently also an announcement I am unintentionally practicing imperfection. I didn’t want the photo to be out of focus but **shrug** whatchagonnado? I guess I am going to recognize that it doesn’t have to be perfect in order to be good. So I’m going to practice being imperfect. I am implementing the habit of not quite “getting it” when my goal all along was to “totally get it.” — an autumn leaf falling to the ground, trying to flutter gracefully, when downward was not its gravity-fighting desire in the first place. All the way down muttering to its leaf buddies, “it’s fine I totally meant to do this.” — I wonder how often the fear of failure - or even just the fear of not-being-perfect - prevents us from trying something. Over the last 8 years I have spent quite a bit of time learning about the reality of human trafficking. It’s in Asia and it’s in our hometowns. It’s the sex trafficking we shudder about and the labor trafficking that makes the clothes we buy cheap enough to go on sale for 40% last Friday and still turn a profit. Estimates are around 40MM people globally are currently being trafficked. That number is so daunting, the problem so megalithic, that it can petrify us into inaction. If I can’t solve this, why do anything? If I can’t be perfect, why try? I will not be running a perfect @dressember campaign this month. I’m going to wear a tie every day in December and I have plans for other fun things but it’s going to have all kinds of inconsistencies and imperfections. BUT, it will still move the needle. It will still affect another person - most likely (based on statistics) a child of color - it WILL matter to that one kid. Maybe more. Especially if we join in and all chip away together.」12月2日 14時37分
