Life After Fire/Retire-ment: David Letterman and His Handsome Beard


"I am a bit of a different person [after being fired/retired]; which is good. I mean, thank God! Because the great struggle in life is to be better each and every day. And if you take a look around the horizon of humanity, it's a... My God! is there anything we can do big or small to make the life of just one person a little bit better? And that's no small accomplishment!"

But, the problem, the fundamental problem for "the horizon of humanity" is how do you define "good". You need to define good to know what is better. An humanity which does not get its bearings on the truth to determine what is good and what is evil cannot begin to consider what is better or worse, good or bad or indifferent. That is humanity's present problem: the abolition of truth! Destroy the truth and you destroy man.
