From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
21 January
Imagine this: there’s a banquet to start soon in, say, Buckingham Palace. In attendance are the most powerful leaders of the world, all standing around drinking cocktails in a large reception area just outside the banquet room. Then someone who’s never been elected dog catcher walks to through the crowd to the microphone at the front of the room and commands everyone’s attention. They all, like sheep, step to the side, moving out of his way and they quiet down as he tells them to enter the banquet hall because they’re ready to start. Why are they like sheep? Because at that moment this guy’s the only person in that whole group who’s moving with a sense of purpose. Maybe you and I – those of us who have not been elected dog catcher either - should move with a similar sense of purpose?
