More From Joan Didion

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
Attitude Optimistic Expression
A man or a woman is said to be absorbed when the water has total control of him, and he no control of the water. a swimmer moves around willfully. an absorbed being has no will but the water's going. any word or act is not really personal, but the way the water has of speaking or doing. as when you hear a voice coming out of a wall, and you know that it's not the wall talking, but someone inside, or perhaps someone outside echoing off the wall. saints are like that. they've achieved the condition of a wall, or a door.

Imagine a limitless expanse of water: above and below, before and behind, right and left, everywhere there is water. in that water is placed a jar filled with water. there is water inside the jar and water outside, but the jar is still there. the 'i' is the jar.

The white man is too intelligent to let someone else come and gain control of the economy of his community. but you will let anyone come in and take control of the economy of your community, control the housing, control the education, control the jobs, control the businesses, under the pre-text that you want to integrate. no, you outta your mind.

If you control the food, you control a nation. if you control the energy, you control a region. if you control the money, you control the world.

Marxists make it an objective to control education, that's how they control minds, countries, populations. we conservatives don't like to control anybody, we're not even activists. we just leave people alone, figure if everybody has the same morality and the same set of values and is focusing on the same basic human things using god-given human freedom, that things are gonna work out fine. that's what america has demonstrated is true, that's being protested this very day. it's not fine; america's unjust, unfair, and all these things. that's the fight we're in the middle of.

The goals of development are always and everywhere stated in terms of consumer value packages standardized around the north atlantic-and therefore always and everywhere imply more privileges for a few... underdevelopment is the result of a state of mind common to both socialist and capitalist countries. present development goals are neither desirable nor reasonable. unfortunately antiimperialism is no antidote.
