More From Joseph Joubert

In this way the ego detaches itself from the external world. it is more correct to say: originally the ego includes everything, later it detaches from itself the external world. the ego-feeling we are aware of now is thus only a shrunken vestige of a far more extensive feeling - a feeling which embraced the universe and expressed an inseparable connection of the ego with the external world.

Ageing destroys youth, sickness destroys health, degeneration of life destroys all excellent qualities and death destroys life. even if you are a great runner, you cannot run away from death. you cannot stop death with your wealth, through your magic performances or recitation of mantras or even medicines. therefore, it is wise to prepare for your death.

Schools teach you to imitate. if you don't imitate what the teacher wants you get a bad grade. here, in college, it was more sophisticated, of course; you were supposed to imitate the teacher in such a way as to convince the teacher you were not imitating, but taking the essence of the instruction and going ahead with it on your own. that got you a's. originality on the other hand could get you anything -- from a to f. the whole grading system cautioned against it.

I've come to learn that theology matters. it matters not because we want to impress people, but because what we know about god shapes the way we think and live. theology matters because if we get it wrong then our whole life will be wrong.

Imagination can't create anything new, can it? it only recycles bits and pieces from the world and reassembles them into visions... so when we thing we've escaped the unbearable ordinariness and, well, untruthfulness of our lives, it's really only the same old ordinariness and falseness rearranged into the appearance of novelty and truth. nothing unknown is knowable.
Depressing Thinking Imagination
I don't think you get that ask unless you first enforce the law, and demonstrate you secured the border. and still whatever this does to our hearts, and it tugs on mine, too, but the most important thing is to restore the respect for the rule of law.
