"There will be no end to the troubles of states, or indeed of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers."
-Plato

Nights ago, I was fortunate enough to meet Patrick Shen. A small man, with awkward features and a gaze reminiscent of the fat kid waiting to be picked in gym class, still, as unassuming as he was, within one sentence it was known that he had a large heart and a great connection to mankind.
Patrick is the director of a great documentary called "The Philosopher Kings." The documentary examines the role of the world around us on a smaller scale by peering into the lives of several our educational system's most overlooked everyday philosophers: custodians. Through the eyes of each individual, their lives and their stories, the resulting film culminates into a surprisingly refreshing and insightful view on the world, what matters most and the power an environment has to heal, transform and inspire. If you have a moment you should give the doc. a go. I greatly look forward to seeing more of Patrick's work.
