Camara, Herera.

Beware, especially, of a very serious sign—and here I think, above all, of the admirable youth of today's world:  the danger that after the enthusiasm, the dedication without limits, the commitment during university days, they will reach the phase of installment in life, of conformism, of bourgeoisie-ism, of the death of ideals.

Man, apparently, cannot maintain himself in the universe without belief in some arrangement of the general inheritance of myth.  In fact, the fullness of his life would even seem to stand in a direct ratio to the depth and range not of his rational thought but of his local mythology.

And why should it be that whenever men have looked for something solid on which to found their lives, they have chosen not the facts in which the wolrd abounds, but the myths of an immemorial imagination...?

Somehow in rural, Southern culture, food is always the first thought of neighbors when there is trouble.  That is something they can do and not feel uncomfortable.  It is something they do not have to explain or discuss or feel self-conscious about....It means, "I love you.  And I am sorry for what your are going through and I will share as much of your burden as I can."  And maybe potato salad is a better way of saying it.

Odds that you will die at some point in your life:  1 in 1.
Thus, you might say the greatest, most significant, and universal risk factor in death is being born.  This implies that it really isn't very helpful to approach the subject of risk by focusing [sic] on how we might / die; rather, it's far wiser to consider how we should live and what risks we will live with.

Few cultures are without some ritual recognition that human beings can injure their appropriate relationship to a cosmic or social order and need some symbolic way of restoring it.  This aspect of the Huichole ritual may come as a surprise to the sophisticated modern admirers of unspoiled primitive religion who somehow think Western faith alone contains a penitence-and-forgiveness axis.

Sabbath is the Jewish answer to the profound question all religions face about the relationship between doing and being, between what Indian mystics call sat (perfect being) and prana (spirit and energy).... In the Bible the key terms are not "being" and "energy" but "creation" and "rest."

The Hebrew vision sees both acting and being, doing and nondoing, as equally real and equally important.  By observing the rhythmic return of Sabbath, human being reflect the divine reality itself.

Western psychology—despite occasional claims to the contrary—still cotinues to concentrate on teh self.  Its focus remains the ego, the id, the psyche, the secret-me-inside—with only peripheral interest directed toward the integral enmesment of the self in its society, its cosmos and the other immense traceries within which it lives....Their effort to understand the psyche without reference to the psyche's relationship to other realms of being has resulted in shallowness and aridity.

Both religions reject the idea of meditation merely as inquiry into the self:  Buddhism because it sees selfhood as an artificial construct, and Christianity because it sees the self only in relation to other selves, to God, and to a world abounding in death-dealing and life-giving powers.

Gluttony is the characteristic vice of consumer society, just as greed was the vice of early capitalist society.... Although the term has sometimes been reduced to mean overeating, gluttony actually refers to taking in or accumulating more than one needs or can use.  In different historical periods the glutton directs his insatiable / appetite to different objects.  Today...he craves experience—in quantity and variety, more and better, increasingly exotic; even spiritual experience is the object of the new gluttony.

Those wavering backsliders and ecstatic dreamers of Corinth, Rome, and Philippi are our brothers and sisters in a more important sense than are all the popes and preachers in between.

Crawford, Walt.

Uniform software has never been a good idea, if the purpose of personal computers in the workplace is to improve individual efficiency and effectiveness.  Different people have different working styles and different needs; a single set of software can't possibly serve everyone equally well.

Cronin, Blaise.

In future, a country's prosperity may depend significantly on its ability to create new knowledge and to innovate technologically.  In order to retain it competetive edge in the international market-place, a country will have to develop and maintain a highly skilled and adaptable workforce, which in turn will depend on its ability to provide flexible and responsible education and training.
