I've come to recognize what I call my 'inside interests.' Telling stories. And helping people tell their stories is a sort of interpersonal gardening. My work at NBC News was to report the news but in hindsight I often tried to look for some insight to share that might spark a moment of recognition in a viewer.
If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what was the most stupid thing in existence they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology.
