S eek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. It sometimes appeared that changes were made simply because sufficient time had elapsed since the last change. And then our efforts would begin again from the beginning.
Movement means friction.
Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict. Who we think we are does. But other people who do will come along. Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other. Man thus becomes the victim of the tides when he should be their Master.
