“Just about everything in this world is easier said than done, with the exception of ‘systematically assisting Sisyphus’s stealthy, syst-susceptible sister,’ which is easier done than said.”

“We are Creation in the Human Form. In other words…. our Body is the Church of God. Therefore the Kitchen must also be respected as a Temple, because the FOOD that’s prepared in it enters our Body, which becomes the BLOOD that in turn must Serve our greater Being. As such we can Change the World from WITHIN.”

Roy Littlesun (1934)

“Exploitation and manipulation produce boredom and triviality; they cripple man, and all factors that make man into a psychic cripple turn him also into a sadist or a destroyer.”

Erich Fromm (1900–1980) German social psychologist and psychoanalyst

Source: The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973), p. 483

This position will be characterized by some as "overoptimistic," "utopian," or "unrealistic." In order to appreciate the merits of such criticism a discussion of the ambiguity of hope and the nature of optimism and pessimism seems called for.
