More From Joseph Hall

I have seldom seen much ostentation and much learning met together. the sun, rising and declining, makes long shadows; at mid day, when he is highest, none at all.
Long Together Shadow
I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

In san francisco, vulgarity, "bad taste," ostentation are regarded as a kind of alien blight, an invasion or encroachment from outside. in los angeles, there is so much money and power connected with ostentation that is no longer ludicrous: it commands a kind of respect. for if the mighty behave like this, then quiet good taste means that you can't afford the conspicuous expenditures, and you become a little ashamed of your modesty and propriety.
Mean San Francisco Invasion
Knowledge about yourself binds, weighs, ties you down; there is no freedom to move, and you act and move within the limits of thatknowledge. learning about yourself is never the same as accumulating knowledge about yourself. learning is active present and knowledge is the past; if you are learning to accumulate, it ceases to be learning; knowledge is static, more can be added to it or taken away from it, but learning is active, nothing can be added or taken away from it for there is no accumulation at any time.
Moving Taken Learning
Education is learning to grow, learning what to grow toward, learning what is good and bad, learning what is desirable and undesirable, learning what to choose and what not to choose.
Good And Bad Grows Undesirable
I'm old enough now that i've been around and i've seen a lot more things than i had seen when i started this program 27 years. i have seen presidents in action. i have been to the white house a number of times. i have been to fundraisers. i have been seen what happens at fundraisers. i've seen how elected officials treat fundraisers and donors and, believe me, the world revolves around them.

One time when i was nine or ten years old, i came home from school...and my dad said to me, 'well, ralph, what did you learn in school today? did you learn how to believe or did you learn how to think?' so, i'm saying to myself, 'what's the difference between the two?'.

A people that has remained convinced of its greatness and invulnerability, that has chosen to believe such a myth in the face of all the evidence, is a people in the grip of a kind of sleep, or madness.
Believe Sleep Greatness
Don't tell me to believe. don't tell me to believe in the same god or laws that men believe in who commit these murders. don't tell me to believe that god can bless this country and that men are judged by their peers. who among his peers judged him? was i there? was the minister there? was harry williams there? was farrell jarreau? was my aunt? was vivian? no, his peers did not judge him, and i will not believe.
Country Believe Aunt
There must be a cooperation of all who believe in god, knowing that authentic religiousness - far from placing individuals and peoples in conflict with one another - rather pushes them together to build a world of peace.
