Performing your job with excellence - with your chin high and your standards higher - is as powerful as any protest march. Sowing into the lives of young people is a worthy crusade. That is what it means to leave this world of ours more lit up than we found it. It's also what it means to live a magnificent life, even if an unlikely one.

Had not free inquiry been indulged at the era of the Reformation, the corruption of Christianity could not have been purged away.”

“Reason and Heart (The Sonnet)
The death of reason is the death of progress,
But the death of heart is the death of existence.
Division between reason and heart must be destroyed,
For it has kept us from achieving our luminescence.
Heart alone is the master, intellect is the servant,
Let it be so, and great things will follow.
Place your head at the feet of your heart,
And the entire world will start to glow.
Let heart be the art you practice,
Let art be the heart you practice.
Let love be the science you practice,
Let science be the love you practice.
One who has reason has something,
One who has heart has everything.”

When you start believing your own truth, your own propaganda, your own bullshit, you become a narcissist. You think you are a god, and that no one is allowed to contradict you. After all, who are they to challenge your truth?”
