Children

Can there be anything more beautiful than a human child?

Indeed, as Christ said, it were better to hang a millstone around your neck and cast it into the sea than to mislead one of these.

By this measure, the advertising industry and the business interests it serves stand condemned.

It used to be relatively easy to shelter children from the media and its insane propaganda. Now it is everywhere we look.

Endurance

Victor Frankl wrote that "Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death."

The secret to knowing how to endure suffering is to practice accepting change.
