"In an epilogue to "War and Peace," Tolstoy argued that to ascribe historical agency to figures like Napolean was akin to seeing a herd of cattle and concluding that the cow in front must be in charge."

This line from Daniel Immerwahr in the New Yorker made me chuckle and think.

First post = first impression.

I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

I believe in the interconnected web of existence.

I believe in God, karma, and grace.

Credit to the artist for the design. Credit to our better angels for the sentiment.
