I bought an echo and you bought gecko... stuff.

Summary

This quote humorously highlights the contrast between two different purchasing decisions. The speaker implies that they have bought something technologically advanced like an echo device, while the other person bought something completely unrelated and potentially bizarre, like a gecko or random items. It emphasizes the subjective nature of individual choices and the wide spectrum of consumer preferences.

When human power becomes so great and original that we can account for it only as a kind of divine imagination, we call it genius.

Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate.

Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate. Compassion is hard because it requires the inner disposition to go with others to the place where they are weak, vulnerable, lonely, and broken. But this is not our spontaneous response to suffering. What we desire most is to do away with suffering by fleeing from it or finding a quick cure for it. As busy, active, relevant ministers, we want to earn our bread by making a real contribution. This means first and foremost doing something to show that our presence makes a difference. And so we ignore our greatest gift, which is our ability to enter into solidarity with those who suffer. Those who can sit in silence with their fellowman, not knowing what to say but knowing that they should be there, can bring new life in a dying heart. Those who are not afraid to hold a hand in gratitude, to shed tears in grief and to let a sigh of distress arise straight from the heart can break through paralyzing boundaries and witness the birth of a new fellowship, the fellowship of the broken.

Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light

Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self-employment and artistic autonomy.
