You do get into situations where you think, 'What should I do? Shouldn't I intervene? Shouldn't I do something?' I think if you get to that point you have to make a decision. I've said to people, if you feel it's wrong just being a reporter and you can't do enough, well it's time to become an aid worker and train to be someone who really knows what to do. No good standing around snapping a notebook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now, the government must devote its energy to the rescue and recovery of the affected region and we cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right now, the government must devote its energy to the rescue and recovery of the affected region and we cannot thank or pay the brave rescue workers enough for the lives they've already saved, ...

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom means freedom from forces and circumstances which would turn man into a thing, which would impose on man the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom means freedom from forces and circumstances which would turn man into a thing, which would impose on man the passivity and predictability of matter.
