If there is nothing to see in your soul, there is no need to look.
Keith Olbermann
Regarding George W. Bush's comments about his presidency in his interview with Charlie Gibson
It's all in the journey and it's an imperfect world. Do your best to make sense. Think critically. Decide if it's fact or belief. Respond don't react. And, whether it's the road less traveled or the main drag, chances are good someone along the way has made an observation that might help you. Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from the stumbling, imperfect experiences of those who have traveled before - or are traveling with - us?
