More From Immanuel Kant

Every reiteration of the idea that _nothing matters_ debases the human spirit. every reiteration of the idea that there is no drama in modern life, there is only dramatization, that there is no tragedy, there is only unexplained misfortune, debases us. it denies what we know to be true. in denying what we know, we are as a nation which cannot remember its dreams--like an unhappy person who cannot remember his dreams and so denies that he does dream, and denies that there are such things as dreams.

All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. men and women who live together through long years get to know one another's failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves. if at the end one can say, this man used to the limit the powers that god granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task, then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.

Recognize that whether you are worthy or not is all a made-up 'story'...nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it...there's no one who comes around and stamps you 'worthy' or 'unworthy'. you do that. you make it up. you decide it...if you say you're worthy, you are. if you say you're not worthy, you're not. either way you will live into your story.

If globalization is a sphere, where each point is equidistant from the centre, then it isn't good because it annuls each of us. but if globalization joins us as a polyhedron where we're all together but conserves the dignity of each ... that's good.
