“The beautiful wooden board on a stand in my father's study. The gleaming ivory pieces. The stern king. The haughty queen. The noble knight. The pious bishop.

People at large have lost any sense of the meaning and purpose of life; and without an understanding of our own purpose, there can be no true commitment.
