Opinion | What, a bribe? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I was a kid, I never thought much about an allowance. I knew my parents had a hard time getting by, so they didn’t have any spare change for me. I also knew my father, under the thumb of his bosses at work, was in charge at home. If I needed money, I had to ask. Usually he said no, and that was that. As parents, we gave our daughter an allowance, believing it was a way to help her learn to make decisions and live with them. The money wasn’t tied to specific chores — if you clean your room,
Opinion | No way: Wisdom and, or, but, politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was in high school when I first read the “Tao Te Ching” (The Book of the Way), the sixth or seventh century B.C.E. text by Lao-tzu that translator Stephen Mitchell has called, “the classic manual on the art of living.” Others say it’s a book about good government, both of the self and the state.

Australian journalist Sarah Wilson’s most recent book is called “I Eat the Stars: How to Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World.” In this work, Wilson offers two seemingly contradictory views of our future. On the one hand, the world as we know it is collapsing under the weight of its complexity. We are living in a time of rising social and economic inequality, of increasing resource shortages and diminished agricultural fertility. Our politics are marked by ever deeper polarization le
Opinion | Is anyone here Greek? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The late writer Marvin Bell wrote a poem for his wife, titled simply, “To Dorothy.” It begins: You are not beautiful, exactly.You are beautiful, inexactly.You let a weed grow by the mulberryand a mulberry grow by the house.So close, in the personal quietof a windy night, it brushes the walland sweeps away the day till we sleep. To be beautiful inexactly — how beautiful. It makes me think of the complexity of this notion we have of the beautiful. Some things are beautiful and some are not. Some o
