I agree, and honestly, I think we can take it further than that.
Because if we set the bar at curing cancer (not that that's what you were doing my friend), then nothing is meaningful. I get that that's a more pragmatic/logical perspective but I believe that change starts small. So it's key to be very vocal about great things they we perceive as small because that can create ripple effects.
I worry when we bash people that do good things with some variation of "Good, But Not Good Enough!" [1] Because, it doesn't inspire people to do even better. In fact, it creates the opposite behavior "why should I even bother at all, can't win with these people."
