The it holds to a star no matter what mud his feet drag thru; the cynic stays on and proves the star is 15,000 light years away and could by no possible stretch ‘the imagination be really grasped by the idealist. ‘The idealist is prone to think great thoughts and trim his cuffs with the scissors; je cynic is prone to garner the pork chops and run the government, we need both of them; we would hate to depend for our fire and police on idealists and we would hate to adopt the cynical cynic’s explanation of love, the brotherhood of man and business ethics, of us are idealists in our family relations and materialists in our dealings with outside world. There was a man one time who taught that the true scheme was to your neighbor even tho he wore a pigtail, and do good to those that despite- used you, but He wasn’t quite able to induce even his disciples to follow Him this the best possible guess about all this is that we have 10,000 or so years of veneer on the outside, and 50 million years of animality beneath, and that we have advanced maybe a few tens of million years farther we will replace with repeated layers of loving kindness and finally approach the time when every sane man will agree that it is better to give than to receive; better to than to preach; better to lose your life than to find it. then the cynic and the idealist will both prove useful in the scheme of things, Any man who gets up early on Sunday is lazy.
