My books are most likely to last. They’re like messages in bottles that I cast into a sea of humanity. There’s no guarantee that they will ever be found and read by people able to make use of them. They are, if anything, beginning places. They might foster study in areas new to the finders. They might give the finders directions for behavior modification. They might give the finders something to react against, and thus find new paths for thought and/or action.
