"Nietzsche said the newspaper had replaced the prayer in the
life of the modern bourgeois [middle class], meaning that the busy, the cheap,
the ephemeral, had usurped all that remained of the eternal in his daily life.
Now television has replaced the newspaper."
-Allan Bloom, The Closing of the American Mind
What have you done today, or this week, to get in touch with
the eternal, the really important things in your life?
How can you create a
ritual or habit to do this each day or at least every few days?
If we focus on
the shallow things, however pressing and important they may be, our lives
become shallow.
If we touch base each day with the deep, we become better
people, leaders, citizens and contributors to society.
