"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

When People Of Other Views Are Not Seen As Human

They passd so near the street singer they could hear the verses of his song.
Sarkon reached down and found a heavy stone and hurled it.
The rock struck Anthems forehead such a blow he almost fell unconscious. The song abruptly stopped. The little group of street balladeers closed around him as a shield.
Everyman, incensed by Sarkon, turned on him and shouted.
"Why did you do that?"

"He sings a lie," said Sarkon.
But still he is a man. Have you some Grudge that makes you hate him? Are there reasons other than his song? "None...." said Sarkon.
