"We have fallen under the spell of money, faction and fear."
-Parker J. Palmer
Think about these three:
Money
Faction
Fear
That's a pretty good analysis of America's ills.
Certainly
prosperity is a good thing, but not if it becomes our trance, keeping us from
doing things more important.
And neither faction nor fear have much positive to
offer us.
Have we fallen under the spell of money, faction and fear?
If so, it's time to break the spell.
