OT Something to Think About. I came across this quote I had written down from Solzhenitsyn's book and found it timely. And before anyone claims that my beliefs are grounded on hard to attain principles not valid for these times of utter destruction and despair, these words came out of the mouth of one who had spent years in a Russian concentration camp. Listen to and think about what he says, and then listen again.... "There is a simple truth which one can learn only through suffering: in war not victories are blessed but defeats. Governments need victories and the people need defeats. Victory gives rise to the desire for more victories. But after a defeat it is freedom that men desire- and usually attain. A people needs defeat just as an individual needs suffering and misfortune: they compel the deepening of the inner life and generate a spiritual upsurge." Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn- The Gulag Archipelago
