frenchmen , books, and humans

I wrote Lucy about Henri Bergson and his ideas about the sources of morality... then yesterday I bought a copy of THE GOD WITHIN by Rene Dubos...

Rene won the Pulitzer Prize for SO HUMAN AN ANIMAL in 1969... that is so long ago for today's generations... I assume no one has read it... I think it is the book where he says "think globally, act locally..."

makes me think in terms of how human behavior is are part HARD WIRED and part ACQUIRED... makes me think again how we are in such DENIAL of who and what mankind is...

still thinking of the other idea I read about last week... how GOD left us a book... but he didn't tell us which one it is... I think that is so cute...

and lastly, the Harvard philosopher Santayana... the atheist Catholic who said, "there is no GOD, but Mary is his mother..."
