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 commands everyone’s attention. They all, like sheep, quiet
down and 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?
