Praise Falsehood

More From Samuel Johnson

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
Let us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence. any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.
Lying Men Support
Do you have doubts about life? are you unsure if it's worth the trouble? look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. they are as much for you as they are for other people. remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. stand up and face the east. now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. it's okay to be unsure. but praise, praise, praise.
Morning Thinking Fire
I have been both praised and criticized. the criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. to have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.
Honor Criticism Sometimes
God smiles when we praise and thank him continually. few things feel better than receiving heartfelt praise and appreciation from someone else. god loves it, too. an amazing thing happens when we offer praise and thanksgiving to god. when we give god enjoyment, our own hearts are filled with joy.
Thanksgiving Gratitude Appreciation
When exhaling this air, we announced jesus christ risen by the same spirit. no one can live without breathing. it is the same for the christian: without praise and mission there is not christian life. and with praise, worship. we rarely speak about worship. what do we do when we pray? we ask things of god, we give thanks. but worshipping and adoring god is part of breathing - praise and worship.

I sometimes call my new system 'italian pagan catholicism,' but it could more accurately be called 'pragmatic liberalism,' with roots in enlightenment political philosophy. it is a synthesis of the enduring dual elements in our culture, pagan and judeo-christian, romantic and classic.
