Here’s a 2003 graduation speech by the president of Principia College. It’s about how busyness keeps us from truly living. Now, because the college is affiliated with Christian Scientists, the tenets of that faith really fill up the second half of the speech.
Still, it’s got a lot of good points about How We’re Living nowadays, regardless of religious affiliation (or lack thereof). As my buddy Jack, who forwarded the speech to me, wrote, “If you don’t relate to the religious references, substitute ‘human being’ wherever you encounter ‘Christian Science’.” Sounds like a plan.
