The words of Tom Hanks in the movie “Castaway”, written by William Broyles, Jr.:

“….I had power over nothing.  That’s when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket.

I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow.  I had to keep breathing, even though there was no reason to hope, and all my logic said that I would never see this place again.  So that’s what I did. I stayed alive, I kept breathing, and one day that logic was proven all wrong because the tide, came in, gave me a sail. …… I’m so sad that I don’t have Kelly, but I’m so grateful that she was with me on that island, and I know what I have to do now, and I keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise.  Who knows what the tide could bring.”

* Oh how this summarizes so many of the past years.  On that island, and I watch for the tide coming in….

Quote from Stephen Hawkin:

However, if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists.  Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist.  If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason – for then we would know the mind of God.

 

By Will Rogers

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
