More From Arthur Conan Doyle

Faced with today's problems and disappointments , many people will try to escape from their responsibility. escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. i propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.

Has your work become very easy? do you find you can do it with little effort? has it ceased to impose any strain or fatigue upon you? do you no longer feel loss of vitality after a long spell of it? can you now do it as easy as water rolls off a duck's back? if so, look out! do some stock-taking. examine your output.... work done with little effort is likely to yield little result. every job can be done excellently or indifferently. excellence necessitates effort-hard, sustained, concentrated effort.

However modest one may be in one's demand for intellectual cleanliness, one cannot help feeling, when coming into contact with the new testament, a kind of inexpressible discomfiture: for the unchecked impudence with which the least qualified want to raise their voice on the greatest problems, and even claim to be judges of such things, surpasses all measure. the shameless levity with which the most intractable problems (life, world, god, purpose of life) are spoken of, as if they were not problems at all but simply things that these little bigots knew!

I think the answer is we all need a little help, and the coffee's a little help with everything — social, energy, don't know what to do next, don't know how to start my day, don't know how to get through this afternoon, don't know how to stay alert. we want to do a lot of stuff; we're not in great shape. we didn't get a good night's sleep. we're a little depressed. coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup.
Good Night Coffee Sleep
It is in the whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has meaning. problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. it is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. it is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn.

The ripe fignow that you live here in my chest,anywhere we sit is a mountaintop.and those other images,which have enchanted peoplelike porcelain dolls from china,which have made men and women weepfor centuries, even those have changed now.what used to be pain is a lovely benchwhere we can rest under the roses.a left hand has become a right.a dark wall, a window.a cushion in a shoe heel,the leader of the community!now silence. what we sayis poison to someand nourishing to others.what we say is a ripe fig,but not every bird that flieseats figs.

I used to take that god's-eye view as a comfort when i was a child. i'd think, "well, we couldn't find the world meaningful at all if it weren't for death." of course, that is the smuggest and most intolerable of all perspectives because i'm not suffering from the death or the pain.

The damage was permanent; there would always be scars. but even the angriest scars faded over time until it was difficult to see them written on the skin at all, and the only thing that remained was the memory of how painful it had been.
