"Language is the medium of all understanding and all tradition

And language is not to be understood as an instrument or tool that we use, rather it is the medium in which we live" (Gadamer)


This is a work in progress.

42. Abject

Piers Morgan (Piers Morgan Tonight, CNN, 10/19/11) in his introduction of Herman Cain, said Cain,

"grew up in abject poverty."

 Abject: utterly hopeless; wretched

Many others have grown up in similar conditions, but yet they did not achieve the same level of success as Cain. Discuss/write/ponder what you think determines one's path to success.
