I read this thing every so often. It’s brilliant for many reasons, but I think my arrogance lies in thinking others need to read obvious lessons through parables.

Anywhoodles, enjoy (or not), but I think this speech offers quite a bit, particularly in times when it’s easy to lose perspective. Go Bears.

It’s an all-time great speech.

But he loses a bit of credibility with you know…offing himself.

Yeah, that's a great one, something I have to re-read a lot, just to remind myself.

It may give it MORE credibility.

I've known what grants peace in life for quite a while. It's still a constant battle with the "default position".
