The Most Difficult Masquerade

In the City, everyone seems predisposed to point-flashlights-at-the-sun…(I can only assume that this is in some way their continuing inept attempt to single out the obvious.)

Have you ever noted that no one accuses another thusly:

“You listen too much”?

Should you still doubt Man’s fear of change, consider this:

From one view, all wars could be seen as a violent reaction to even the suspicion of change by one’s neighbor.

The most efficient, the most dangerous, and the most difficult masquerade is that of self-interest disguised as humility and stupidity.

Even during the harshest, most cold-blooded eras in Man’s history, I have always found some comfort and cause for optimism when I but recall the uplifting warmth of that most traditional Anglo hymn, that the British always sing in times of adversity, “Nearer My Dog To Thee.”
