Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

One should part from life as Ulysses parted from Nausicaa-- blessing it rather than in love with it.

One should part from life as Ulysses parted from Nausicaa--

Summary

This quote suggests that when departing from life, one should do so with gratitude and appreciation instead of clinging onto it with a deep attachment. Drawing a comparison to Ulysses from Greek mythology, who left Nausicaa to continue his journey, the quote implies that viewing life as something to be blessed allows for a peaceful and accepting farewell. Rather than being filled with regret or despair, departing from life with a sense of gratitude acknowledges its value while recognizing the transitory nature of existence.

Consider Social Security. The young have always contributed

Consider Social Security. The young have always contributed to the support of the old. Earlier, the young helped their own parents out of a sense of love and duty. They now contribute to the support of someone else's parents out of compulsion and fear. The voluntary transfers strengthened the bonds of the family; the compulsory transfers weaken those bonds.

While technically I did not commit a crime, an impeachable offense... these are legalisms, as far as the handling of this matter is concerned; it was so botched up, I made so many bad judgments. The worst ones, mistakes of the heart, rather than the head. But let me say, a man in that top job - he's got to have a heart, but his head must always rule his heart.
