I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing--for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it's impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. but boxing is only like boxing.

I Can Entertain The Proposition That Life

Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. but boxing is only like boxing.
Boxing Life Is Like Life Is
The facts of nature are what they are, but we can only view them through the spectacles of our mind. our mind works largely by metaphor and comparison, not always (or often) by relentless logic. when we are caught in conceptual traps, the best exit is often a change in metaphor not because the new guideline will be truer to nature (for neither the old nor the new metaphor lies "out there" in the woods), but because we need a shift to more fruitful perspectives, and metaphor is often the best agent of conceptual transition.

Even if you have the wit to look by yourself in a bush away from the other children, there are not many bell crickets in the world. probably you will find a girl like a grasshopper whom you think is a bell cricket.and finally, to your clouded, wounded heart, even a true bell cricket will seem like a grasshopper. should that day come, when it seems to you that the world is only full of grasshoppers, i will think it a pity that you have no way to remember tonight's play of light, when your name was written in green by your beautiful lantern on a girl's breast.

All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated....as therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all....no man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because i am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Looking out of my window this lovely spring morning i see an azalea in full bloom. no, no! i do not see that; though that is the only way i can describe what i see. that is a proposition, a sentence, a fact; but what i perceive is not proposition, sentence, fact, but only an image which i make intelligible in part by means of a statement of fact. this statement is abstract; but what i see is concrete.

All one needs to do is just to go to any hospital in america and see the number of pakistani or indian or lebanese, or syrian, or egyptian doctors, who are either first generation or themselves immigrants, to know, and i'm a big believer - brains are distributed evenly around the world. what aren't distributed evenly are opportunities, stable government, educational institutions, etc.

We have the most prolonged adolescence in the history of mankind. there is no other society that requires so many years to pass before people are grown up ... adolescence is nurtured and prolonged by educational processes and by industry that has found a bonanza in embracing the adolescent population and fortifying 'adolescent values.' this prolongation of adolescence robs the country of the population group having the most risk takers, and the highest ideals.

We must reject that most dismal and fatuous notion that education is a preparation for life.
Educational Preparation Notion
Life is of no value but as it brings gratifications. among the most valuable of these is rational society. it informs the mind, sweetens the temper, chears our spirits, and promotes health.
Educational Mind Spirit
Do i dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? it is not to save time, but to squander it.
