POINTS TO PONDER
Is it not true [...] then that my life with all its limitation
touches at many points the life of the World Beautiful?
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and
silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be,
therein to be content.
Helen Keller, writer and lecturerI know the world is bruised and bleeding and though it is
important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse
to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains
information that can lead to knowledge—even wisdom.
Toni Morrison, novelistWe’ve been hearing this for some time now—save India
from this, save it from that. The fact is that India needs
to be saved from the people who say it should be saved.
