Summary

This quote highlights the difference between real obstacles and invented ones. Real obstacles are genuine challenges that life presents us with, and although they may be difficult, they can ultimately be overcome with effort and determination. On the other hand, invented obstacles refer to self-imposed barriers or excuses that we create for ourselves, often leading us in circles or getting stuck in a maze-like pattern without making progress. The quote suggests that by distinguishing between real and invented obstacles, we can focus our energy on overcoming the genuine challenges and avoid wasting time and effort on unnecessary self-made barriers.

The result of what Kennedy did can be understood by analogy. It is as if he created a building named, 'A man on the moon in ten years,' and inside the building he put offices for all the various ideas, positions, notions and people that had to do with space flight. The first office inside the front door of the building in 1961 would have been called, 'it can't be done.' This office would have been inhabited by the skeptics and the cynics.A content or position is threatened by any opposite position. Given two opposing positions, only one can survive. On the other hand, a context gives space to, it literally allows, it even encourages, positions that are apparently the opposite. In fact, the most important position in a newly-created context is the position which appears to oppose the context.

I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency.
