The quote that made me cry was this:

"This could be the fall of American democracy, but it might not be"

I see so much of the ugly roots that got us here - I was at Harvard for many years, and I just watched this rot - greed, exploitation, theft, whitewashing - sink in, along with a blindness to it, that it's just the cost of doing business, that behaving this way is necessary to do good work in this world. But Gandhi said that the end is inherent in the means. I say that Harvard hasn't lived by their stated values, but have I truly lived by mine?

I've been listening to a lot by Thich Nhat Hahn in the last few days, returning to mindfulness practice.

Thank you for your wisdom.
