For the fortunate amongst us, the fourth danger is
comfort; the temptation to follow the easy and familiar path of
personal ambition and financial success so grandly spread before those
who have the privilege of an education. But that is not the road
history has marked out for us. There is a Chinese curse which says
"May he live in interesting times."
Like it or not, we live in interesting times. They are times of
danger and uncertainty; but they are also the most creative of any time
in the history of mankind. And everyone here will ultimately be judged
- will ultimately judge himself - on the effort he has contributed to
building a new world society and the extent to which his ideals and
goals have shaped that effort.
From
Robert Kennedy’s ‘Day of Affirmation Address’
delivered at UCT on the 6th June 1966 and just as relevant today on 6th
April 2009.

at Catharina’s! Shanty kept the toes a tapping and the

definitely be celebrating with the Irish in March next year, you can put that in your diaries.
