RB'S QUOTE OF THE DAY: January 13, 2013: "A multitude of causes unknown to former times..."

I know this is deep, but I do hope you'll think about it for a bit, because I believe it describes exactly the lack of compassion and violence that we are experiencing in the world today.

"A multitude of causes unknown to former times
are now acting with a combined force
to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind,  
and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion
to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor."

~William Wordsworth
