Styx -- The Angry Young Man

We hear a lot about the schism in our society and how we need to help those who have not had the fortunate breaks in their life, and provide a safety net for them. I think this song from 1978 summarizes my feelings on the subject.

The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic,"  Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
