Relating

Productive activity is characterized by the rhythmic change of activity and repose.

Productive work, love and thought are possible only if a person can be, when necessary, quiet and alone with himself.

To be able to listen to oneself is a prerequisite for the ability to listen to others, to be at home with oneself is the necessary condition for relating oneself to others.

(Eric Fromm in The Art Of The Possible by Alexandra Stoddard, p. 88)

You Done Me Wrong

(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Chapter V, paragraph 25)

******

Riddle me this.

Why would a politician let his staff members have access to his social networking accounts?

Maybe he is just dumb or too lazy to actually post his own comments. Give someone else your passwords at your own risk.
