{"product_id":"2940012834096","title":"My Take: A Prediction","description":"The content is derived from observations of constant changes in nature and human condition. The good and bad are noted. Invocation is made for the good to prevail so that its transformation into a catalyst dissipates dissonance and improves the human condition. It is proposed that life is much more than being merely mental and mundane. Challenge is made that we gain nothing vilipending for color, ethnicity and culture, and religion and region. It is suggested that nonviolence may be the greatest tool available to deliver one from passion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWays to exonerate oneself from selfishness and satiety are listed. The tripod is assumed to consist of poise for composure, self-control for stability, and tranquility for balance. “Life is an onward march, and passing time and the passage of life stay in lock step, always” is accepted. Also accepted is the fact that all of these journeys come to an end as the fateful “passages,” but the mystery continues due to the emotive and inexplainable “exactness” of these events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is understood that a long, very long dose of the “healer” time may be needed to winnow greed from grief, separate gist from gust, content from contempt, direction from disdain, and duty from dross, while substituting felicity for fight and fiddle for fife.","brand":"Dorrance Publishing Co.
