Socrates: 0 Friend Pan, and all you other gods in this place!
Grant me this: to become beautiful within. And let what I have
without be friendly to what I have within. And may I think
that the wise man is rich. And may I own just such an
amount of gold only a soundminded person can tolerate
amassing.
Do we need anything else, Phaedrus? For me this prayer is
adequate.
Phaedrus: Let me too pray along. For what friends have, they
have in common.
Socrates: Let us go.

law (Title 17 U.S. Code)
At every moment, Life demands that we choose between Love and Strife, between the
powers that bind and those that loose. If we do not hear the urgency of this demand, it is because
we do not live fully in the present moment. Most of our attention streams away toward the
remembered past or imagined future, relaxing our bond with the vivid Here and Now until we drift
too far off to hear the voice of Life above a whisper. But today, with music, ceremony, and
speeches, we try to dam the flood of inattention, to focus on the Now, on this single moment,
which is both ending and beginning for all qf you who are about to receive degrees. If you search
your feelings in this moment, you will find two commingled emotions: melancholy — for all that is
past and gone, for a way of Efe that can never be relived - and expectancy — for all that is yet to
come, for a way of life that you are hoping to create. Please remember this composite feeling,
because it is the feeling that lives in the heart of every Now. When we are not experiencing this
twofold emotion, we are not really in touch with the present, but have allowed our habits of
inattention to separate us from the Now. In this state of habitual inattention, we nevertheless carry
on the daily work of Efe: people are fed, cities and empires built, careers made and unmade, children
reared, and academies of higher learning established for the purpose of passing knowledge and
tradition from generation to generation.
At this ceremony, and at thousands of others Eke it to be held across the nation today and
in the coming weeks, those of us who serve and support the academy will confer upon you and
upon your counterparts at other institutions the outward signs that we have discharged our duty,
and that you, by completing rigorous courses of study, have increased in knowledge and learning.
In thousands of speeches we will extol your virtues; we will praise you for your fortitude,
perseverance, and intelligence; we will encourage you to develop your talents further, and to fulfil
your promise; we will impress upon you the solemn obligation that you pass the baton of learning
to the next generation; and we will express our pride in your achievements, for we honor the
devotion, the toil, and the sacrifice that nourished your success. It is altogether fitting and proper
for us to do this.
But even on such a congratulatory occasion, a decent regard for truth and for honest
self-criticism compels me to speak of failure as well as success — my failure, the failure of my
generation, and of all who consider themselves teachers, mentors, and leaders in all walks of Efe.
For the truth is that we have failed you. We have failed you because, being human, the better
�angels of our nature are often bested by the worse; and because, being consequently inconstant, we
preach ideals that we foil to honor in deeds; and because, being consequently hypocritical, we are
forced to hide painful truths from ourselves; and because, being consequently ignorant, we hand
down to you truth and falsehood mixed indiscriminately in unknown proportions.
Among the falsehoods which we have given you to believe far too easily is this: that
knowledge is an unqualified good. It is no such thing. For insofar as knowledge is power, it
corrupts as power corrupts; and insofar as it is taken to be an unqualified good, it corrupts
surreptitiously. Knowledge can ally itself with the slightest weakness of character and with any
unexamined prejudice, transmuting unjust, intolerant, or self-centered attitudes into the figures of
intelligence and ignorance: a latent racism, sexism, or class prejudice can manifest itself as an
empirical observation that this or that individual is just not as intelligent as we. Egotism, above all,
joins readily with knowledge, leading to the eihpirical observation that no one is quite as intelligent
as we, and to the logical conclusion that everyone needs to be inoculated with ample doses of our
own personal wisdom.
You have witnessed something of this here, in the microcosm of the classroom, whenever I
or one of my colleagues have used our familiarity with the books on the program or our knowledge
of other sources as unfair advantages to attain a position of power in discussion, or to maintain a
tenor of authority, or to sustain our own sense of intellectual superiority, perhaps going so far as to
be dismissive, even rude, to students or to other tutors whom we regard as less knowledgeable, less
experienced, or less sagacious than ourselves. Such behavior clearly creates estrangement and
disaffection, scattering seeds of Strife about the world; it can only be the work of our worse angels.
And yet I fear that some of you admire the ability to wield knowledge as a form of power, and are
planning to master the skill through fbrther schooling. I earnestly hope that my fear is misplaced; I
hope all of you understand that having and using such a skill is not worth the risk of planting a
single seed of Strife in a single human soul.
If the temptation to brandish knowledge as a weapon can infiltrate even here, where we
have an official rhetoric that cautions us against the danger, how much harm is it doing out there, in
classrooms and boardrooms, in factories and chambers of government where no such caution
exists? - where knowledge is valued precisely and only for its fearsome aspect of power? In the
world in which we live, knowledge consorts with Strife; and the belief that knowledge is an
unqualified good has precluded your seeking out the one force able to Uberate knowledge from the
dominion of Strife: Only Love can conquer Strife.
page 2
�Only Love can render knowledge harmless. Only Love can transform thought and
sensibility into wisdom and compassion. Only Love can bind the separate moments of existence
into a whole, meaningful life. But we have become such children of Strife that we no longer
understand the universal application of Love. Because Love always involves submission to deep
and overpowering feeling, we scrutinize it fearfully from within the protective cage of our current
conception of rationality, which is, on the whole, a heartless, soulless intellectualism. Love requires
the courage to hazard sentimentality; for the harm done by sentimentality - which can, after all, be
educated, broadened, and elevated — is very light compared to the harm done by fear of
sentimentality — which, like all fear, is an implacable agent of Strife. Love requires us to feel deeply»
and to be carried away by feeling.
Fortunately, there is always nearby one thing — the present moment — with which we can
practice our ability to love. If we can learn to love the Now, which is to live fully in the present
that is always with us, then the unifying force of Love will always be close at hand to shield us from
the divisive force of Strife. And we are already prepared halfway, because we know the heart of the
Now, we know the twofold feeling of melancholy and expectancy. To make a beginning, we must
carry the memory of that feeling with us at all times; we must cultivate that feeling until the
poignancy and fragility of the moment swells in our hearts, catches in our throats, brings tears to
our eyes. Then comes the hard part — we must give ourselves over completely to the feeling welling
up from within and to the moment embracing us from without, until we seem almost to forget our
own existence. Because this is the essence of Love: sublation of self in the enveloping presence of
the beloved.
If you can love the moment this intensely — as Penelope loved Odysseus, as Dante loved
Beatrice, as you loved when you first fell madly in love — then your knowledge will work no injury,
nor will the seeds of Strife take root in your soul; and the failings of your teachers, mentors, and
leaders will be redeemed. For Love makes all hurt as thou^ it had not been.
At every moment. Life demands that we choose between Love and Strife. For the sake of
the world in which you were raised, for your own sakes, and for the sake of the world to come,
