“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

In My Craft or Sullen Art
In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.
Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.
–by Dylan Thomas

I now despise them in ways I never thought possible before. 😊
This goes hand in hand with CNN interviewing Sean Penn (maybe I read it here) and asking for his expert advice on how to react in a crisis. Anderson Cooper and some other CNN half-wit interviewers sitting there with serious looks son their faces, soaking up the information. Anderson Cooper in a crisis FFS, the only crisis he might have to endure is having to drink box wine for a few days.
I agree with Mark, if you are going to do something good, simply do it without fanfare and your heavenly Father will reward you appropriately at the appropriate time.
