If we were born to paint, it’s our job to become a painter. If we were born to raise and nurture children, it’s our job to become a mother.

It is this idolatry of self which they have bequeathed to us in the form of patriotism.

Our pets rely on us entirely for their nutrition. So if you're making your own judgments, that could lead to a mistake.
