Well, I'm a Christian, so you can probably infer most of what I think about the middle (and the End  ) from that. But more generally, I think it's important to be part of a (non-virtual) community with practices, and to participate in those practices in a non-ironic manner. I'll try and remember what I mean by practices once I finish my comps tomorrow.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
