Everybody should watch and listen to one of my personal heroes, Ken Burns, giving a commencement speech at Brandeis University. Watch the whole thing, if you can get past the political statement, you’ll get the message.
“As a Nation, we are diametrically preoccupied. Everything is right or wrong, Red or Blue, young or old, gay or straight, rich or poor Palestinian or Israeli, my way or the highway.
Everywhere we are trapped by these old, tired, binary reactions, assumptions and certainties. That preoccupation is imprisoning.”
