Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental difference between bridge and poker. In bridge, which requires strategic collaboration between partners, playing badly can negatively affect your partner's experience and chances of winning. On the other hand, in poker, where competition and individual decision-making prevail, playing poorly can be advantageous to others as it increases their chances of success. The quote humorously contrasts the consequences of poor gameplay in these two card games and emphasizes the social dynamics and dynamics of teamwork versus individualism.

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready.

Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.

There used to be this feeling under Eisenhower and Kennedy and Roosevelt and Truman that government was a solution. Trust in the presidency fell precipitously under Johnson - real lows. And it's never come back. It's a trend that, if you're liberal, is really discouraging.
