Beloved, one of the low-key horrors of Now is that people talk as of only All or Nothing were viable. But once you notice that, you know it's foolishness, a sterile idolizing of Purity, and simply impractical.

You are continuing the high-cost justice work you do by teaching at the jail, and you are going to protests, and I bet you are doing more. I value, esteem, and love you, and wish I were doing so much.

(And, separately, I have guilt problems, too, but I am finite.)
