Running Scolding Incessant

More From Michel De Montaigne

Scolding must be very, very fun, otherwise children would be allowed to do it. it is not because children don’t have what it takes to scold. you need only three things, really. you need time, to think up scolding things to say. you need effort, to put these scolding things in a good order, so that the scolding can be more and more insulting to the person being scolded. and you need chutzpah, which is a word for the sort of show-offy courage it takes to stand in front of someone and give them a good scolding, particularly if they are exhausted and sore and not in the mood to hear it.

Parents fear the destruction of natural affection in their children. what is this natural principle so liable to decay? habit is a second nature, which destroys the first. why is not custom nature? i suspect that this nature itself is but a first custom, as custom is a second nature.

When vladimir putin runs up against american power and american criticism and american leadership that reminds him of what russia isn`t, when he runs up against people who he worries are funding his dissidents or supporting protests against him, when he runs up against criticism of the way he runs his own country, what he`s running up against is the state department.

Morality makes stupid.- custom represents the experiences of men of earlier times as to what they supposed useful and harmful - but the sense for custom (morality) applies, not to these experiences as such, but to the age, the sanctity, the indiscussability of the custom. and so this feeling is a hindrance to the acquisition of new experiences and the correction of customs: that is to say, morality is a hindrance to the development of new and better customs: it makes stupid.

Culture has never the translucidity of custom; it abhors all simplification. in its essence it is opposed to custom, for custom is always the deterioration of culture.

A convention is a social pattern we have chosen to prefer over whatever the raw world simply proffers. it is a sign of the operation of the mind, drawing the assent of a sufficient number of other minds so that the agreement will be widely operative. a convention is not a custom; a custom is a habit in which a sufficient number acquiesce. a custom can appear as a convention, but it is really a lesser act, the result of passive acceptance rather than of the imposition of design. it is the difference between learning to live by the annual flooding of the river or by a calendar.

It came to me…that i didn’t want to be anywhere else in the world at that moment, that what i was feeling at that moment justified all i had been through, because all i had been through was my being there. i was experiencing…a new self-acceptance, a sense that i had to be this mind and this body, its vices and its virtues, and that i had no other chance or choice.

So it is that real, personal sacrifice never was placing an animal on the altar. instead, it is a willingness to put the animal in us upon the altar and letting it be consumed! such is the 'sacrifice unto the lord... of a broken heart and a contrite spirit,' (d&c 59:8), a prerequisite to taking up the cross, while giving 'away all [our] sins' in order to 'know god' (alma 22:18) for the denial of self precedes the full acceptance of him.
