“Can we find nothing good to say about TV? Well, yes, it brings scattered solitaries into a sort of communion. TV allows your isolated American to think that he participates in the life of the entire country. It does not actually place him in a community, but his heart is warmed with the suggestion (on the whole false) that there is a community somewhere in the vicinity and that his atomized consciousness will be drawn back toward the whole.” ThinkingWellsHeartDoeCountryWholeCommunityConsciousnessTelevisionTvsIsolatedCommunionSuggestionsVicinity Book:It All Adds Up: From the Dim Past to the Uncertain Future Source: It All Adds Up: From the Dim Past to the Uncertain Future

Obviously, mysticism can be a form of madness, but then consciousness can be a form of madness.” KnowsKindHardFormCoursesGivenReligiousConsciousnessMadnessTreatedBordersMysticismIsolated Author:Marilynne Robinson
“We are not isolated islands, we are connected links in a chain. Each kind word, each smiling face, each good action, benefits our neighbor, nation, world.
