“What if we choose not to do the things we are supposed to do? The principal gain is a sense of an authentic act – and an authentic life.

But you gain the respect of another community, the one that is worth having the respect of.” CommunitySecurityRespectAuthentic SelfAuthentic LivingJoseph Campbell Book:Myth & the Body - A colloquy with Joseph Campbell Source: Myth & the Body - A colloquy with Joseph Campbell
