A Life Well Spent
December 24, 2008
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.
-Lao Tzu
In an interview in the British daily, The Times (November 17, 2008), Professor Jacob Bronowski, scientist and author of the documentary series, The Ascent of Man, made this comment on how his life should be judged....

"My life has been happy because I never had any uncertainty about the meaning of the word 'good,' the meaning of the word 'true,'  the meaning of the word 'beautiful,'  and the meaning of words like 'original' and 'new.'  I've always had a tremendous pride in being a human being and being born into the 20th century.  I'm terribly sad that 30 years from now I shall be dead, not because anybody will miss me, but because so many more marvelous things will be known.  Now, should you listen to me?  Yes, you should.

"Not because you have to believe any single thing I say, but because you have to be pleased that there are people who have lived happy and complete lives, who fee that they can speak out of a full heart and a full mind, all in the same frame."
