Believe Vanity Goodness

More From Lord Mountbatten

The only thing that really matters is that there be an action of goodness, love and intelligence in living. is goodness individual or collective, is love personal or impersonal, is intelligence yours, mine or somebody else? if it is yours or mine then it is not intelligence, or love, or goodness. if goodness is an affair of the individual or of the collective, according to one's particular preference or decision, then it is no longer goodness.

We want to see a struggle. we want to see people falling over but getting themselves back up on their feet, and that's what's extraordinary- ordinary people and their struggle. there's nothing as interesting as real life out your window. you walk down the street for half an hour, i'll give you half an hour of drama.
