Title
Lew Leadbeater: Notes from the Edge
Description
As far as I’m concerned, autobiographical accounts lie somewhere between horn tooting and Hitlerism, in that both of them involve unwarranted self-glorification. There are a few people, like Katharine Graham, for instance, who have every right to toot their own horns because they’ve been trailblazers of one sort or another. Then there are others, like Socrates, who should have written autobiographies, but didn’t, relying rather on the willingness of people like Plato to do the job for them.
But most of us are not of the ilk of Socrates, and the Platos of the world are long gone, to be replaced by such philosophical offshoots as Nietzsche or Sartre, and who would want either of them to write one’s biography?
The fact is that the majority of us are like miners, wandering around through the shafts with but the dimmest of lights on our helmets. But somehow we make it from the beginning to the end, and usually with the help of, as Blanche DuBois says, the kindness of strangers.
