M. Scott Peck quotes about
reality appreciate effort
The more effort we make to appreciate and perceive reality, the larger and more accurate our maps will be. But many do not want to make this effort.
mean dedication willingness
A life of total dedication to the truth also means a life of willingness to be personally challenged.
lying community world
In and through community lies the salvation of the world.
reality dedication cost
Mental health is an ongoing process of dedication to reality at all costs
mean dedication self
What does a life of total dedication to truth mean? It means, first of all, a life of continuous and never-ending stringent self-examination. We know the world only through our relationship to it. Therefore, to know the world, we must not only examine it but we must simultaneously examine the examiner.
inspiring courage action
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the making of action in spite of fear.
fall community answers
Community is another such phenomenon. Like electricity, it is profoundly lawful. Yet there remains something about it that is inherently mysterious, miraculous, unfathomable. Thus there is no adequate one-sentence definition of genuine community. Community is something more than the sum of its parts, its individual members. What is this "something more?" Even to begin to answer that, we enter a realm that is not so much abstract as almost mystical. It is a realm where words are never fully suitable and language itself falls short.
