If you see what needs to be repaired and know how to repair it, then you have found a piece of the world that G‑d has left for you to perfect. But if you only see what is wrong and what is ugly, then it is you yourself that needs repair.

Tikkun Olam Repairing the world takes great diligence in today's extremely broken and complex planet.Fast moving and at times spiraling out of control,one must be rapid but at the same time patient in order to get the job done.One person can't do it alone,but G-D willing he can teach one or two people a righteous path in life that would inspire millions or even billions of people to follow in his ways.

Not a doubt in my mind And if you do see what is wrong in yourself then this is also a piece of the world that G-d has left for you to perfect
