More From Randy Harrison

If you have a character that seems to be all perfect, it's hard to relate to him because when you read a story you really want to empathize with the character that you are reading about. and it's hard to empathize with someone who is flawless and who has no problems.
Reading Character Perfect
My feelings are not god. god is god. my feelings do not define truth. god’s word defines truth. my feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. and sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. when that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - i try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, i plead with god: purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.

But i know i would not go out. i had taken this time to fall in love instead — in love with the sort of helplessness i had not felt in death — the helplessness of being alive, the dark bright pity of being human — feeling as you went, groping in corners and opening your arms to light - all of it part of navigating the unknown.

The spiritual differs from the religious in being able to endure isolation. the rank of a spiritual person is proportionate to his strength for enduring isolation, whereas we religious people are constantly in need of 'the others,' the herd. we religious folks die, or despair, if we are not reassured by being in the assembly, of the same opinion as the congregation, and so on. but the christianity of the new testament is precisely related to the isolation of the spiritual man.
Spiritual Religious Men
People often expect the other person to respond first in a positive way, instead of taking the initiative to create that possibility. i feel that's wrong; it can act as a barrier that just promotes a feeling of isolation from others. to overcome feelings of isolation and loneliness, your underlying attitude makes a tremendous difference - approaching others with the thought of compassion in your mind is the best way.

Living in a foreign country is one of those things that everyone should try at least once. my understanding was that it completed a person, sanding down the rough provincial edges and transforming you into a citizen of the world. what i find appealing in life abroad was the inevitable sense of helplessness it would inspire. equally exciting would be the work involved in overcoming that helplessness. there would be a goal involved, and i like having goals.

Part of the concept of the euro zone was to establish a common market. the banks were going to bank across all their countries like we bank across states. but that concept got killed for a whole bunch of reasons that i won't get into. that was a good concept, by the way. it may yet return, because there are huge economies of scale in banking. that's another thing people don't quite get.

Too often in the past, our armed forces have returned to canada from their trials with little fanfare. not so today. canadians across the country came out in force, united in appreciation, to honour the bravery, heroism, strength and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom and security in afghanistan.

When you go visiting countries, you start reading the history of the place and you start getting into the culture, and then you have to leave. in my experience, all countries have hidden treasures.
