“Gandhi has sound economic and cultural reasons for encouraging the revival of cottage industries, but he does not counsel a fanatical repudiation of all modern progress. Machinery, trains, automobiles, the telegraph have played important parts in his own colossal life! Fifty years of public service, in prison and out, wrestling daily with practical details and harsh realities in the political world, have only increased his balance, open-mindedness, sanity, and humorous appreciation of the quaint human spectacle.” WorldYearsHumansDoeImportantReasonRealityPoliticalSoundProgressEconomicModernIndustryBalanceHumorousPrisonTrainDetailsAppreciationPracticalsFiftyWrestlingSanityHarshMachineryRevivalAutomobilePublic ServiceOpen MindednessCottagesColossalQuaintTelegraphHarsh Reality Author:Paramahansa Yogananda
“The economy - once a great scatter of small productive units in autonomous balance, has become dominated by two or three hundred giant corporations, administratively and politically interrelated...

“When it comes to politics, we have an internal glass ceiling. We stand as good a chance as a man to win a political race, but women don't want to run at the same rate as men do.

There are some deeper psychological and emotional issues in play, like the fact that many of us feel like the embarrassment, humiliation and personal demonization in politics are simply more than our hearts can take.
