"You," said Dr. Yavitch, "are a middle-road liberal, and you
haven't the slightest idea what you want. I, being a revolutionist, know exactly what I want - and what I want right now is a drink" ~~ Sinclair Lewis ~~
and that is Keeping Christmas. Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people and to remember what other people have done for you? To ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world? To admit that the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life? Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and desire of little children? To remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old? To stop asking how much your friends like you? and ask yourself whether you love them enough? To try to understand what those who live in the same house with you really want, without waiting for them to tell you? To make a grave for your ugly thoughts and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate open? Are you willing to do these things even for a day? Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world -- stronger than hate, stronger than death -- Then you can keep Christmas. But you can never keep it alone.

About
|
|
Subversity is one of those people who never takes anything seriously while at the same time, responds seriously to the world around him. He wants people to listen to his ideas but isn't willing to make the compromises it would take to get everyone to shut up and hear him. He explodes with passion whenever something catches his interest, dives in and gives it all he has.
