Well, if you were the american public, you saw a catastrophe. in general, you would say, "the biggest institutions of america - washington, broadly, and wall street, broadly - they're to blame." and, broadly, they're right.
Wall America Saws
I think that all countries of the region should join their efforts in the fight against a common threat - terrorism in general and isis in particular. it concerns iran as well, it concerns saudi arabia (although the two countries do not get along very well, isis threatens both of them), it concerns jordan, it concerns turkey (in spite of certain problems regarding the kurdish issue), and, in my opinion, everybody is interested in resolving the situation. our task is to join these efforts to fight against a common enemy.

No man (sic) has learned to live until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. length without breadth is like a self-contained tributary having no outward flow to the ocean. stagnant, still and stale, it lacks both life and freshness. in order to live creatively and meaningfully, our self-concern must be wedded to other concerns.

One concern i had while i was working actively in the intelligence community - being someone who had broad access, who was exposed to more reports than average individuals, who had a better understanding of the bigger picture - was that the post - world war ii, post - cold war directions of societies were either broadly authoritarian or [broadly] liberal or libertarian.

To find god, you must look with all your heart. to remain present to god, you must remain present to your heart. to hear his voice, you must listen with all your heart. to love him, you must love with all your heart. you cannot be the person god meant you to be, and you cannot live the life he meant you to live, unless you live from the heart.

As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.

Seven years i worked at the polish deli. it's a very slow deli. so i sat around a lot on my stool at the cashier. and i'd sign my autograph on all the bags i'd put the milk in. just everyday, practice my autograph. and the manager of the store would take some of them and tape them against the wall. and he'd say, "some day, i'm telling you, it will be worth something." and i'm like 13, going, "really?!" and when i go back there, he still has them on the wall. it's very cute.
Cute Wall Years
There are moments when a kind of clarity comes over you, and suddenly you can see through walls to another dimension that you'd forgotten or chosen to ignore in order to continue living with the various illusions that make life, particularily life with other people, possible.

If, sir, men were all virtuous, i should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. but what would be the security of the good if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? against an army sailing through the clouds neither wall, nor mountains, nor seas could afford any security.
