Herodotus must have been focused outwardly. Had he focused inwardly, I believe he’d have come to a very different conclusion and his bitterness would have become self-actualization.
Hi Russ,
LOL! When I first saw this quote, I was thinking about the pundits (TV and newspaper) who (rightly I feel) tried to convince everyone what a terrible choice Trump would be before the elections – and then the actual results…
I don’t know if you are familiar with Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here“. It just makes me shudder…
At the moment, all I can do is pray for my country.
