"How
lovely it would be to trade belief and believing for experience and
reason. That was the great contribution of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who
birthed an America that, like the autumnal doe, takes care of its
young, its weak and those however disadvantaged through no fault of
their own.
It
was not a hardcore belief system that informed Roosevelt. It was
experience. Experience is a far better guide than belief. The former is
rooted in what eye can see, ear can hear and heart can feel. The latter
is rooted in abstraction and, as often as not, self-serving."
