But, based on my friendship with Evie as young mothers, I started going on freedom rides in 1966.
I could have started a for-profit, venture-backed business that has a good spirit, and I think there are many of them - Google for instance. Maybe I could reach a billion people. That is high impact, but what happens in 50 years?
If you can attribute your success entirely to your own mental effort, to your own attitude, to some spiritual essence that you have that is better than other people's, then that must feel pretty good.
