“too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns, but we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning.”

I read Jonathan Alter’s biography of Jimmy Carter a few years ago. It was simply amazing how he never stopped going 100% in all that life offered: learning to downhill skill at 62, climbing Kilimanjaro at 64, picking up snorkeling at 90.
RIP.
RIP.

Opinion | Obama still doesn’t get why Trump won. That’s the problem.
The 44th president's message at his democracy forum was just his same old brand of centrism, which is unsuited to the current populist era.
