REFLECTIONS
• Should we be doing this?‐
Repeatedly and increasingly asked over
the years
‐
Common to all SW and SSW practice
• OUR THOUGHT –
Keep asking the question
![Page 27: Seneca College Social Service Worker Community Practice ...Jamaica Project. What will be covered today: What is the project ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043021/5f3cb22b8cf3661d453cf1d3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
If the world were merely seductive that would be easy. If it were merely
challenging that would be no problem.
But I arise every morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.
This makes it hard to plan the day.

From social intercourse are derived some of the highest enjoyments of life; where there is a free
interchange of sentiments the mind acquires new ideas, and by a
frequent exercise of its powers, the understanding gains fresh vigour.
