Have we lost ourselves?
This opinion by Dr. Erich Fromn stuck me and even scared me. Where are we? How many live this world? Here is his opinion:
"A man sits in front of a bad television program and does not know that he is bored; He reads of war casualties in the newspaper and does not recall the teachings of religion; He learns of the danger of nuclear holocaust and does not feel fear; He joins the rat race of commerce, where personal worth in measured in terms of market value, and is not aware of his anxiety."

Visual effect
So as I ponder "fare forward" here are the images that comes to mind. Picture a wheel moving down a hill. In the old adage "fare well". The wheel gathers many historical events, sounds, images, themes and becomes hard press to make any lead way. Moving some, becoming stand still, wavering, supported by others. Now when one ponders "fare forward". Imagine the wheel moving at its own speed, throwing off images, etc, when they do not fit/no longer serve and overall creates its own/individual motion, speed and journey.
