More From Alphonse De Lamartine

The christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.

Nothing is more human than for man to desire naturally things impossible to his nature. it is, indeed, the property of a nature which is not closed up in matter like the nature of physical things, but which is intellectual or infinitized by the spirit. it is the property of a metaphysical nature. such desires reach for the infinite, because the intellect thirsts for being and being is infinite.

Technologically, modern man does everything he can do-he functions on this single boundary principle. modern man, seeing himself as autonomous, with no personal-infinite god who has spoken, has no adequate universal to supply an adequate second boundary condition; and man being fallen is not only finite, but sinful. thus man's pragmatically made choices have no reference point beyond human egotism. it is dog eat dog, man eat man, man eat nature.
Dog Men Choices
It is false to suggest that men must turn away from his desires in the interest of a higher duty. men only responds to duty if he desires to do so. to understand men, you must understand their desires and the relative strength of those desires.
Men Desire Duty
