Daily Meditation #347–2/6/2023 Thucydides had a famous saying: “The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.” Whether or not it is misattributed to him or not, isn’t it spot on?

Daily Meditation #340–1/30/2023 Be wary to allow yourself the attitude that you are an “authority.” With authority comes the danger or arrogance.
