Rene Descartes book The Passions of the Heart is very relevant to the tough and important work that we know social workers do every day. Descartes reminds us that you cannot fight your passions. If you are in love, you cannot pretend you are not in love. If you are scared, you cannot pretend youre not scared. But if you are scared, you can use the passion of courage to fight fear. The main important thing for Descartes is the passion of generosity. He says generosity is the decision to use your mind and reason as well as you can in each situation. At Fostering Change for Children we strive for that ideal of generosity every day.
