Ignorance Men Thinking

More From Richard P. Feynman

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

Ignorance is not bliss. ignorance is poverty. ignorance is devastation. ignorance is tragedy. and ignorance is illness. it all stems from ignorance.

There are also flat periods in life which may well be the periods during which-before new lessons come- the past lessons of life are allowed to seep, quietly and deeply, into the marrow of the soul. these outwardly flat periods, when enduring well may not seem very purposeful,, are probably the times when needed attitudinal alignments are quietly occurring.

Change is all about motion, motion is all about uncertainty and we are deeply uncomfortable with uncertainty.

As a result of the sacred ordinances performed in the holy house of god, no light need be permanently extinguished, no voice permanently stilled, no place in our heart permanently left vacant.

Enjoying praise is in some people merely a civility of the heart--and just the opposite of a vanity of the spirit.

No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. there's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. well, get used to that feeling. that's how your whole life will feel some day.
