We know how we should respond, usually. We need to pay more attention to how we actually do respond. Yet a great poet can express an unlimited amount of life in that limited form. Similarly, the Art of Imperfection saves us from pining away after the unattainable and allows us to celebrate What Is, and life through the limiting forms available to us at any moment. Thus, two imperfect people can have a perfect relationship.
Work is one of the most important things in life.
I mean creative, expressive engagement between a whole human being and a complex world. They do not engage, they do not transform. Work can be one of the best ways of self-discovery. Besides, with more knowledge of the outside world, students might have a better perspective on the value and limitations of college. In addition to being a retreat, I think a college should also be a bridge to the world and concern itself with the problems of the world.
