Special To You

Our media are rapidly being gobbled up by enormous and powerful conglomerates, stifling competitive creativity and the ingenuity that once thrived among smaller, entrepreneurial companies.

An over-exaggerated sense of importance can lead to muted sensitivities, inevitably contributing to a one-dimensional vision -- a non-expansive, non-empathetic, non-creative view of life. One self-involved individual can undermine the integrity of a relationship or a family. One self-important business can poison its local environment or swindle its shareholders. One self-righteous news conglomerate can manipulate a nation's journalism. One self-aggrandized race can subjugate millions of innocents. One self-inflated world leader can suffocate the needs of a country's citizens or reach across a border and wreak havoc upon others. Only Mother Teresa deserved to feel self-important...and it never would have occurred to her.
