Transcendence Or Detachment, Leaving The Body, Pure Love, Lack Of Jealousy-that's The Vision We Are Given In Our Culture, Generally, When We Think Of The Highest Thing. . . .

The Profession Is Heavily Cluttered With Aged Hacks Toiling Through A Miasma Of Mounting Decrepitude And Often Alcoholism, And Even More So With Arrogant And Abrasive Youngsters Who Substitute 'commitment' For Insight. The Product Of Their Impassioned Intervention In Public Affairs Is More Often Confusion Than Lucidity.
The Change We Need Is Fixing This Broken Economy From The Bottom Up.. Not Tax Breaks For The Wealthy And Huge Corporations That Ship U.s. Jobs Overseas. We Need To Focus On Defeating Al Qaeda And The Taliban And Restoring America's Standing In The World.. Not An Unending Commitment In Iraq.
Invest In The Human Soul. Who Knows, It Might Be A Diamond In The Rough.
