Blessed are the contrarians, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. But they must be very, very careful in these "Interesting Times," in the Chinese sense. Unless you think that "May you live in interesting times" after all is a blessing and not a curse, or better still the first of three curses of increasing degrees of severity, the other two being "May the government be aware of you," and "May you find what you are looking for." But in this case you had better not read this book—and you can't … [Read more...] about Blessed Are the Contrarians: Diary of a Journey Through Interesting Times by Samuel Robert Piccoli
