Hopefully Harsher is still

acting as residential Guru?

"The great events of world history are, at bottom, profoundly unimportant.

In the last analysis, the essential thing is the life of the individual. This

alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place,

and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a

gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. In our private

and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age,

and it sufferers, but also its makers" CW 10, p 315

 

" Where love rules, there is no will to power;

and where power predominates, there love

is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."

__ Carl G. Jung__

 

"Hate has a lot in common with love, chiefly

with the self-transcending aspect of love,

the fixation on others, the dependence on

them and in fact the delegation of a piece

of one's own identity to them. The hatred

longs for the object of his hatred."

__ Vaclav Havel__
