More From Abraham Lincoln

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.
Mean Men People
When i was a fairly precocious young man i became thoroughly impressed with the futility of the hopes and strivings that chase most men restlessly through life. moreover, i soon discovered the cruelty of that chase, which in those years was much more carefully covered up by hypocrisy and glittering words than is the case today. by the mere existence of his stomach everyone was condemned to participate in that chase. the stomach might well be satisfied by such participation, but not man insofar as he is a thinking and feeling being.
Men Thinking Covered Up
Sometimes when i watch my dog, i think about how good life can be, if we only lose ourselves in our stories. lucy doesn't read self-help books about how to be a dog; she just is a dog. all she wants to do is chase ducks and sticks and do other things that make both her and me happy. it makes me wonder if that was the intention for man, to chase sticks and ducks, to name animals, to create families, and to keep looking back at god to feed off his pleasure at our pleasure.
Dog Good Life Book
It is pleasure that lurks in the practice of every one of your virtues. man performs actions because they are good for him, and when they are good for other people as well they are thought virtuous: if he finds pleasure in helping others he is benevolent; if he finds pleasure in working for society he is public-spirited; but it is for your private pleasure that you give twopence to a beggar as much as it is for my private pleasure that i drink another whiskey and soda. i, less of a humbug than you, neither applaud myself for my pleasure nor demand your admiration.

When you're comfortable and secure, it's not enough. the mind doesn't stop there because it has to continue to focus itself as this body, so it moves to pleasure. and pleasure really is a non-existent thing. when we're experiencing pleasure, we're trying to hold onto it as it leaves, so it really isn't pleasure. pleasure is pain because we're grasping.
Pain Moving Focus
Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. a wicked and evil man may have pleasure, while any ordinary mortal is capable of being happy. pleasure generally comes from things, and always through the senses; happiness comes from humans through fellowship. joy comes from loving god and neighbor. pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of god.

Rome was so mighty that it could not fall. it had to vanish in a cloud, like so many of the mythical heros of antiquity, and to receive its apotheosis among the stars before men became fully aware that it had vanished from the earth!

Man stands alone in the universe, responsible for his condition, likely to remain in a lowly state, but free to reach above the stars.

God speaks to me not through the thunder and the earthquake, nor through the ocean and the stars, but through the son of man, and speaks in a language adapted to my imperfect sight and hearing.
