You Don't Know What You're Going To

The Easy Path Of Aging Is To Become A Thick-skinned, Unbudging Curmudgeon, A Battle-ax. To Grow Soft And Sweet Is The Harder Way.

Love Alone Is Not Enough. Without Imagination, Love Stales Into Sentiment, Duty, Boredom. Relationships Fail Not Because We Have Stopped Loving But Because We First Stopped Imagining.

We Approach People The Same Way We Approach Our Cars. We Take The Poor Kid To A Doctor And Ask, "what's Wrong With Him, How Much Will It Cost, And When Can I Pick Him Up?"

Until The Culture Recognizes The Legitimacy Of Growing Down, Each Person In The Culture Struggles Blindly To Make Sense Of The Darkness That The Soul Requires To Deepen Into Life.

Of Course, A Culture As Manically And Massively Materialistic As Ours Creates Materialistic Behavior In Its People, Especially In Those People Who've Been Subjected To Nothing But The Destruction Of Imagination That This Culture Calls Education, The Destruction Of Autonomy It Calls Work, And The Destruction Of Activity It Calls Entertainment.
