I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；这是智慧的时代，也是愚蠢的时代；这是信仰的时代，也是怀疑的时代；这是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；这是希望的春天，也是绝望的冬天；我们什么都有，也什么都没有；我们正走向天堂之路，也正走向地狱之门。

人生は、選択の連続である。その一つ一つが、未来を形作る。
