Summary

It speaks to the idea that what we feed ourselves mentally, emotionally, or physically can profoundly shape our identity and priorities.

To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.'

Democracy, finally, rests on a higher power than Parliament. It rests on an informed and cultivated and alert public opinion. The Members of Parliament are only representatives of the citizens. They cannot represent apathy and indifference. They can play the part allotted to them only if they represent intelligence and public spiritness.http://www.nalis.gov.tt/Independence/IndepSpeech.htm
