“You’re only as strong as your weakest link” (Granovetter).
I’m actually spending time reading back on essays and study’s I wrote during the SOU years and the few short years I was in grad school.
One of the most interesting propositions we discussed in a sociology studies course was the proposition suggested by Sociologist Mark Granovetter who wondered about the strong and weak links he saw in social settings. Mark Granovetter suggested that the health of any society can be measured in terms of how well a society took care of all its members. Granovetter once said that a society was only as strong as its weakest link. Which… makes me appreciate the rationale offered by Ram Dass “We’re just walking each other home. Developing compassion and empathy for others is something we all benefit from. I sure wish we saw this set of choices and behaviors throughout social settings.

The good stuff ☺️
I’m going to defer to my winter time reading classics by Charles Dickens:
1) A Tale of Two Cities 2) A Christmas Carol And…. 3) Oliver Twist.

Oh, I’ve always been an avid reader. But I’ve noticed I really cut down sharply. Some of it was because of the Internet and social media. Some of it was because of my outdoor time in the gardens. But most of it was because of work. It consumed my day. And it drained me. I needed light stuff after work and the type of things I like to read are intense. Mostly serial killer and true crime stuff. But now that I’ve laid off, I found myself going to Barnes & Noble and picking up a few books on that genre. I’ve got a really good book going that talks about several serial, killers, and how they were caught. And I’ve got a great book on the mother of forensic science!

Well, I’ve finally decided to pick up and read this one book that I’ve been meaning to read for many years now….. Larry McMurtry’s “Lonesome Dove”.
It’s over 800 pages long and the movie version, with Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, Tim Scott, Diane Lane and a host of more top names has always been one of my most favorite and treasured western movies. My mother had read the book years ago and she just raved about it and said that the book was unquestionably better than the movie. That’s usually the case but this book, especially so. So, here I go, bookworms!! Wish me luck!!! 😉👍 ~Theo~
