It is easy to forget why we do the work that we do, and why it matters. With that in mind, I wrote this letter to my law students. It resonated with many of them. If a principal cause of suffering is forgetfulness, this reminder seems timely for all of us:
Be grateful to have work to do. It is a safe harbor against the heartbreaks and sorrows of this life. Do it not so much for your own sake but on behalf of the people and constituencies, many still unknown to you, who nonetheless are waiting for you to use your expertise to make their lives better.
