Powerlessness.
It's the feeling of hands being tied or getting carried out to sea by a riptide. It buries us under an ocean of anxiety, stress, and depression. It's a feeling that I often hear expressed by young adults who, thanks to technology, are assaulted daily by images of worldwide crises. Against such things, we wonder: what good can I do?
According to Catherine Pearson, constraints can be catalysts for creativity. Catherine is the founder of the Goodmakers Society and holds a degree in business & finance from Sheffield Hallam University. She is currently studying for her Masters Degree in Theology, Imagination, and Culture at Salem College in Salisbury.
Some questions we asked Catherine in this episode:
- Why do you think creativity is so important to envisioning the good that that you can do in the world?
- How does technology hinder our ability to be present to the areas in our neighborhood that could use a helping hand?
- What practical advice would you give to a person who has given up hope about making a change for good?
