Re: Book Hoarding
Mr. Veech,
Perhaps. But in fairness, our own Founding Fathers were some of the best-read men in history. And not only did they acquire wealth, mates and social status, they also carried on a dangerous revolution, wrote the Constitution, etc. And most of them were expert gardeners as well. So....
But I think we were wise to take the path we did. Outside there is nothing but a grotesque, inhuman, and rapidly collapsing civilization. The spiritual cesspool of America is the literal epicenter of the Kali Yuga, not merely the metaphorical one. So I fear all we can do in the face of this grim prospect, is to somehow find a small refuge from the madness, and try to live our lives in the higher realms, such as books, art, music, etc. open to us. (And, maybe treat yourself to a weekly dose of 5 dried grams of psilocybin mushrooms. This will keep off the despair of living in sordid times, and will take you to a place of enchantment and wonder.)
