More From Joseph Joubert

The whole question of pornography seems to me a question of secrecy. without secrecy there would be no pornography. but secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things. secrecy has always an element of fear in it, amounting very often to hate. modesty is gentle and reserved. today, modesty is thrown to the winds, even in the presence of the grey guardians. but secrecy is hugged, being a vice in itself. and the attitude of the grey ones is: dear young ladies, you may abandon all modesty, so long as you hug your dirty little secret.

Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. if it be so, let the modesty succumb. it can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.
Literature Modesty Fidelity
Research has shown that a simple act of kindness directed toward another improves the functioning of the immune system and stimulates the production of serotonin in both the recipient of the kindness and the person extending the kindness. kindness extended, received or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved.
Kindness Simple Impact
Right from the moment of our birth, we are under the care and kindness of our parents, and then later on in our life when we are oppressed by sickness and become old, we are again dependent on the kindness of others. since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other's kindness, how can it be in the middle that we would neglect kindness towards others?
Kindness Helping Others Parent
He who imitates what is evil always goes beyond the example that is set; on the contrary, he who imitates what is good always falls short.

"art imitates life," of course, is that phrase by oscar wilde. i called that song "art imitates life" because oh no was in the studio and he actually came up with that hook. when i was trying to figure out a name for the record, it just kind of made sense.

With your silhouette when the sunlight dims into your eyes where the moonlight swims, and your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns, who among them would try to impress you? -bob dylan, "sad-eyed lady of the lowlands” (1966)

Don't let the sun go down on me although i search myself, it's always someone else i see i'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free but losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Song Losing Everything Sun
Now are the days, of humblest prayer, when consciences to god lie bare, and mercy most delights to spare. oh hearken when we cry. now is the season, wisely long, of sadder thought and graver song, when ailing souls grow well and strong. oh hearken when we cry. the feast of penance! oh so bright, with true conversion's heavenly light, like sunrise after stormy night! oh hearken when we cry. oh happy time of blessed tears, of surer hopes, of chast'ning fears, undoing all our evil years. oh hearken when we cry. chastise us with thy fear; yet, father! in the multitude of thy compassions, hear!
Song Strong Prayer
