The Futility of Politics

.. God has so arranged our world that history doesn't matter. Or
more precicely, the kind of history that we think matters, doesn't
matter much, if at all, to us. The significant events happen out of
public view, & they are constantly happening. The real drama is
within each human soul. Each responds to events that come his way,
but the events in themselves are just props in the drama.

.. Politics are a way to rearrange the deck chairs.
