Do We Behave Out Of Fear Of Punishment, Or Out Of The Demands Of Our Heart? For Me, It Is The Latter, As I Would Hope Is True For All Adults, Thought I Know From Bitter Experience That Such Is Not Often The Case. To Act In A Manner Designed To Catapult You Into Heaven Would Seem Transparent To A God, Any God,for If Ones Heart Is Not In Allignment With The Creator Of That Heaven, Then... What Is The Point?

How Many People Long For That "past, Simpler, And Better World," I Wonder, Without Ever Recognizing The Truth That Perhaps It Was They Who Were Simpler And Better, And Not The World About Them?

It Is Better, I Think, To Grab At The Stars Than To Sit Flustered Because You Know You Cannot Reach Them... At Least He Who Reaches Will Get A Good Stretch, A Good View, And Perhaps Even A Low-hanging Apple For His Efforts.

Truth, Though, Is Nothing In The Face Of Self-falsehood, And Principles Are Of No Value If The Idealist Cannot Live Up To His Own Standards.
