INEXORABLE MUTUALITY

Because all persons and all things are "indissolubly connected in a web of inexorable mutuality," to paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it is often vainly difficult for the historian to confine itself, exclusively, to history; or a jurist to law; a physicist to physics; a writer to literature; a preacher to scripture; a musician to music; a politician to politics; a teacher to education; an athlete to sports; or persons to any one thing. We occupy the same space as all prior predecessors, and, metaphysically, the same time. So, how could it ever be, or have ever been, otherwise? Amen.
