“We do need a vision that's uplifting, even whilst being realistic. And there's a lot in the world that already speaks to that, like tikkun olam in the Jewish faith.”

Meaning

This reads as an argument for hope that does not deny reality. It points to the need for an inspiring moral direction, while insisting that such a vision has to stay grounded, and it can be taken to mean that ethical traditions already contain language for collective repair. It lands in discussions about activism, where people want ambition without fantasy.
