“Make the time each day to offer an expression of appreciation to just one of your fellow human beings. It is the accumulation of such “small” kindnesses and acts of recognition and awareness and respect that add up to a life worth having been lived. In short … you must care. You must wear your passion and compassion and engagement on your sleeve, and attend intensively to the moment. It will not come ’round again!”

A Powerful Review of Reagan’s legacy

Yes, he was the “Great Communicator”. Yes, he was a man who engendered trust and respect. But did he deserve it?

“A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.”
Albert Einstein
