Most I know are far from imagining that after death is nothing.

Perhaps an ultimate question is whether or not what one accomplishes in time in Time.

…aside from turning life experience into knowledge and wisdom.

Presumably – and hopefully – the subject of the final Bildungsexam.

Those for whom Henry David Thoreau is a hero rather than fellow journeyer.

It is not only an individual problem, but mainly a collective/political problem, that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

But then, when in history has any collective body been willing to recognize seriously its limitations, rather than laud itself? That too is a lesson unlearned.

Those – very many – who do not live in the realities of the ideas of History are bounded to make sense of the world for instance with psychology,.

Even primitive people are often proud.

Are those the most oblivious and ardent in politics not also those most passive and convinced in religious beliefs?

The number of Americans who have so little insight as to support the con man Trump allows one to be realistically depressed about American politics.

Observation and sense convince that venturing far or long “above the tree line” is fit for few.

In order to not depend on the unacceptable, one must accept it.
