I think about this all the time. And I realized recently that a lot of my time and energy goes into the emotional labour of raising good humans who are attuned to their privilege and the injustices that face so many others. It's a long grind, but then I see the benefits when a teacher tells me how happy they are to have one of my kids in their class because they set an example of kindness and caring. So I guess that's something.
