"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

Great site. Although I wish they had more lectures in history but overall its like being able to see the best scholars from every school without being accepted, which is great.

I just got a heads up from sking29 on this thread to be able to look into the history part but will also check out the rest! Gotta keep that grey matter moving around! Thanks.:up:

This is the only thing I’ve learned: There’s only us. There’s no them. Despots and authoritarians need to make a “them” to have a straw man whom you are against. If you need to make an enemy of “them,” you’ve lost the spirit of us. - Ken Burns of PBS
