It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. these lines may have their roots in quite different parts of human nature, in different times or different cultural environments or different religious traditions: hence if they actually meet, that is, if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow.

Thinking Two Different
And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Religion is important for humanity, but it should evolve with humanity. the first priority is to establish and develop the principle of pluralism in all religious traditions. if we, the religious leaders, cultivate a sincere pluralistic attitude, then everything will be more simple. it is good that most religious leaders are at least beginning to recognize other traditions, even though they may not approve of them. the next step is to accept that the idea of propagating religion is outdated. it no longer suits the times.
Religious Attitude Simple
The whole history of these books (i.e. the gospels) is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. in the new testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. it is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.
Religious Book Men
Hence, instead of man thinking, we have the bookworm. hence, the book-learned class, who value books, as such; not as related to nature and the human constitution, but as making a sort of third estate with the world and the soul. hence, the restorers of readings, the emendators, the bibliomaniacs of all degrees.
Book Reading Men
We found that the most exciting environments, that treated people very well, are also tough as nails. there is no bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo... excellent companies provide two things simultaneously: tough environments and very supportive environments.

I did find new zealand similar to ireland. the people, obviously. i found that, ironically, although these two countries were very far away from each other, their humor was so similar and their outlook on things was quite similar as well.

All that ruby said was so horribly true, she was leaving everything she cared for. she had laid up her treasures on earth only. she had lived solely for the little things of life, the things that pass, forgetting the great things that go onward into eternity bridging the gulf between the two lives and making of death a mere passing of one dwelling to the other. from twilight to unclouded day. ...it was no wonder her soul clung in blind helplessness to the only things she knew and loved.
