There are no perfect human beings! Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, great. There do in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers...even if they are uncommon and do not come by the dozen. And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed. To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must first give up our illusions about it.

As one studies these preconditions, one becomes saddened by the ease with which human potentiality can be destroyed or repressed, so that a fully-human person can seem like a miracle, so improbable a happening as to be awe-inspiring. And simultaneously one is heartened by the fact that self-actualizing persons do in fact exist, that they are therefore possible, that the gauntlet of dangers can be run, that the finish line can be crossed.

“Brian, I can not thank you enough for all that you have shared with me over the past week via your philosophers notes. I found a link to them and have listened to about 80% of them with the last few coming in right now. I am an audible.com junkie and have been listening to constant audio books and pod casts for the last 5 or so years but your information is hands down one of the best that resonate with me. so thanks. it is so great to hear your ideas on these books and then how they relate to other books and ideas. It helps that I have a similar goal and starting point in my beliefs. I am all for the creation of wealth (not individually but as an idea for helping humanity) and find your ideas on this refreshing.”  ~ Paul

“I've been having me a PhilosophersNotathon since 6:30 this morning. This is just a fabulous concept and I can't help but imagine that it's going to be a runaway success. It's also proving a mighty spur to some creative thought for me. The film and video business is currently in a downward spiral. I could sit here and blame the economy or I can direct my brain into something more productive. The thinking I've encountered on my site has my brain (and feelings) going into high gear.Thanks for this wonderful gift and for the opportunity to touch base with you. Have a joyous and rewarding holiday season and a visionary new year. Blessings and love, Burt”  ~ Burt Kempner, DreamKeepers Media
