Such an accurate and insightful piece, SD.
I enjoyed the entire essay and in particular the part I excerpted above. Totally agree. In fact it is my life guiding principle.
P.S. Just saw your note late last night. Thank you.
Will reply when I move away from my window and iPad and back to my desk and computer. Looks like the big machine is the only one capable of responding to the notes! I would add nurture vs. nature? But then, it is only a non-organic machine…
