When we decided to separate humanity from all of the rest of creation, we created a schism that was deep and profound. … This disconnection [from nature] has caused the world’s dominant culture to become stuck in a stage of arrested development, more concerned with “me” and “now” than with being custodians of the future…

Something has arrested the social development of our society, freezing most people—almost all of modern civilization—in an immature stage of awareness about life. It appears that this is a root cause of why today’s humans are capable of ruining their environment for short-term gain even when most people know they’re damaging the future for themselves and their children.

De Rada understood his #patriotic task as a moral & cultural #renewal of both peoples. With his dual identity, he embodied the hope that national #self-determination & #European #solidarity need not be opposites but can complement each other.[…] With this call for intellectual #independence, De Rada linked a vision of political #maturity that found resonance in both Albanian and Italian contexts. His voice thus remains one of the clearest from the border area of two emerging #nations.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

"The inability to admit a mistake
is a classic symptom of emotional immaturity;
it is also a sure-fire way to guarantee
that you will never grow or mature as a person."
Dr. Mardy Grothe
