More From Jean-Paul Sartre

We will freedom for freedom’s sake, in and through particular circumstances. and in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own. obviously, freedom as the definition of a man does not depend upon others, but as soon as there is a commitment, i am obliged to will the liberty of others at the same time as my own. i cannot make liberty my aim unless i make that of others equally my aim.

I think this is when most people give up on their stories. they come out of college wanting to change the world, wanting to get married, wanting to have kids and change the way people buy office supplies. but they get into the middle and discover it was harder than they thought. they can't see the distant shore anymore, and they wonder if their paddling is moving them forward. none of the trees behind them are getting smaller and none of the trees ahead are getting bigger. they take it out on their spouses, and they go looking for an easier story.

For all its peculiarities and unevenness, the bible has a simple story. god made man. man rejected god. god won't give up until he wins him back. god will whisper. he will shout. he will touch and tug. he will take away our burdens; he'll even take away our blessings. if there are a thousand steps between us and him, he will take all but one. but he will leave the final one for us. the choice is ours. please understand. his goal is not to make you happy. his goal is to make you his. his goal is not to get you what you want; it is to get you what you need.

Spiritual Wisdom Yoga
For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. for man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. whatever the unborn may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. the dead may look after the afterwards. but the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.

Bears are made of the same dust as we, and they breathe the same winds and drink of the same waters. a bear's days are warmed by the same sun, his dwellings are overdomed by the same blue sky, and his life turns and ebbs with heart pulsing like ours. he was poured from the same first fountain. and whether he at last goes to our stingy heaven or not, he has terrestrial immortality. his life, not long, not short, knows no beginning , no ending. to him life unstinted, unplanned, is above the accidents of time, and his years, markless and boundless, equal eternity.

The observations and encounters of a devotee of solitude and silence are at once less distinct and more penetrating than those of the sociable man; his thoughts are weightier, stranger, and never without a tinge of sadness. images and perceptions which might otherwise be easily dispelled by a glance, a laugh, an exchange of comments, concern him unduly, they sink into mute depths, take on significance, become experiences, adventures, emotions.
