What does it mean to live in truth? When Mark Carney addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year, he challenged the world's leaders to face the future with clear sight, to not let the wool be pulled over their eyes any longer about the state of the world. He referenced one of the most powerful political manifestos written in the last century--The Power of the Powerless by Václav Havel. Havel, a playwright, became one of Czechoslovakia's leading dissidents under the "post-totalitarian" rule of its socialist government. In an environment of suppressed speech and secret police, Havel told the truth about life under dictatorship. He also warned that the West might need to hear his words at some point. Now seems like an opportune time to explore Havel's work, seeking in it both political wisdom and spiritual wisdom to help guide us through uncertain times.
