It’s Far Easier Evaluating Those Behind Us Down The Road, Then It Is Those Before Us
Progressing in a particular field, one finds himself in a relation with other participants of the game. Some are behind us. Some are before us. Such hierarchy concerns many fields of human endeavours. Whenever competence is discernible and various players can be differentiated from the others – a natural hierarchy results.

Freedom in Adversity
There’s a certain opportunity in adversity. I am not saying it as a consolation, though. There is always an opportunity for self-inquiry, in every stage of our life, and there’s a certain opportunity in adversity – it’s the opportunity of GRASPING FREEDOM.
