“I would wonder if our weakness and irritatingly resilient immaturity rests in our perceived inability to be challenged, for having locked ourselves down in the tiny confines of our frightened worlds we have presumed the world to be bigger than our ability to engage it. And because that is the case, we can only hear that which fits within the suffocating walls of these tiny confines within which we have barricaded ourselves. And the tragedy of it all is not that we 'while-away' the length of our days gradually perishing within such horrid confines. The tragedy is that we are blessed with the inherent ability to transform all of the things outside of those confines that caused us to retreat within them in the first place. But, as I ponder all of this a bit further, I realize that possibly the greatest tragedy of all is our staunch unwillingness to recognize this truth and therefore leave both ourselves and our world's tragically unchanged when in fact they could have been brilliantly transformed.”
