The little i have seen of the world teaches me to look upon the errors of others in sorrow, not in anger. when i take the history of one poor heart that has sinned and suffered, and represent to myself the struggles and temptations it has passed through, the brief pulsations of joy, the feverish inquietude of hope and fear, the pressure of want, the desertion of friends, i would fain leave the erring soul of my fellow-man with him from whose hand it came.

More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

And we passed through the cavern of rats. and we passed through the path of boiling steam. and we passed through the country of the blind. and we passed through the slough of despond. and we passed through the vale of tears. and we came, finally, to the ice caverns.
Country Ice Tears
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
When the spirit came to moses, the plagues came upon egypt, and he had power to destroy men's lives; when the spirit came upon elijah, fire came down from heaven; when the spirit came upon gideon, no man could stand before him; and when it came upon joshua, he moved around the city of jericho and the whole city fell into his hands; but when the spirit came upon the son of man, he gave his life; he healed the broken-hearted.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. when one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the holy spirit. the worst defect in talking is talking too much. hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.

Destiny is a good thing to accept when it's going your way. when it isn't, don't call it destiny; call it injustice, treachery, or simple bad luck.
