Thought for the day by Charles Handy exploring the Church, spiritual freewill, new political freedom, and the burden of making individual choices. Handy begins the thought discussing how visiting Prague and taking in its beauty, and the beauty of the Czech Republic's countryside, prompted him to consider the new independence of the nation and the time it takes for an economy to rebound. He proceeds to remark on how the churches and synagogues of Prague are filling up with relieved but confused people, and how churches are there to give one strength to make important decisions in one's life. This belief about church and other types of organizations is reflective of his broader views, as he goes on to state that all people are having to take charge of their own destinies, both economically and spiritually, outside traditional institutions.
