Futurity Is Impregnable To Mortal Ken: No

Friedrich Schiller
Futurity is impregnable to mortal ken: no prayer pierces through heaven's adamantine walls. whether the birds fly right or left, whatever be the aspect of the stars, the book of nature is a maze, dreams are a lie, and every sign a falsehood.

More From Friedrich Schiller

I always find myself gravitating to the analogy of a maze. think of film noir and if you picture the story as a maze, you don't want to be hanging above the maze watching the characters make the wrong choices because it's frustrating. you actually want to be in the maze with them, making the turns at their side, that keeps it more exciting...i quite like to be in that maze.

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

Let us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence. any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.
