Noise, hurry and crowds

Photograph by Brian Sano There is more to life than increasing its speed.                                                                 Gandhi  In contemporary society our Adversary majors in three things: noise, hurry, and crowds.  If he can keep us engaged in “muchness” and “manyness,” he will rest satisfied.  Psychiatrist Carl Jung once remarked, “Hurry is not of the Devil; it is the Devil.”                                                                            Richard J.
