“There are two ways to look at the world, and both are true in their time and place: You don’t know how good you’ve got it. Or You don’t realize how bad things have gotten. This contrast came to mind this past week. Especially the second part. I didn’t realize how bad my eyesight was, even with glasses, until I had surgery to fix it. … People in general don’t realize how enslaved they are until they experience, or can truly envision, living in liberty. They can’t comprehend how much better life could be. They use the first view as a crutch to avoid responsibility to make things better. They only see how things could be made worse by fiddling with them, but rarely understand how much better things could be.” (10/14/24)
