About Now

From Chögyam Trungpa: The principle of nowness is also very important to any effort to establish an enlightened society. You may wonder what the best approach is to helping society and how you can know that what you are doing is authentic or good. The only answer is nowness. Now is the important point. That now is a real now. If you are unable to experience now, then you are corrupted because you are looking for another now, which is impossible. If you do that, there can only be past or future.

Democracy??

"A nation that hates politics will not long thrive as a democracy." E. J. Dionne
