More From Marcel Proust

The development of faith in the lord is an individual matter. repentance is also an individual matter. only as an individual can one be baptized and receive the holy ghost. each of us is born individually; likewise, each of us is "born again" individually. salvation is an individual matter.

Who creates a thing is not as important as what the thing is. who created baseball? who created basketball? who created the space program? who created - we could go on and on. we could argue about who created something. we all are participants in it.

In a healthy individual, a broken bone that has healed properly is strongest where it was once broken. you have not lost any life, henry told himself. you will still get your fair share of years. yet the quality of his life changed. once you've been struck by violence, you acquire companions that never leave you entirely: suspicion, fear, anxiety, despair, joylessness. the natural smile is taken from you and the natural pleasures you once enjoyed lose their appeal.
Taken Years Broken
One can imagine that god created the universe at literally any time in the past. on the other hand, if the universe is expanding, there may be physical reasons why there had to be a beginning. one could imagine that god created the universe at the instant of the big bang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. an expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!
Jobs Past Expanding Universe
I hear all of these liberals so concerned with people's health and so critical of tobacco cause it kills, it's deadly, and secondhand and third, and they've created a bunch of insane people out there. i'm telling you, liberalism has created literally deranged people afraid of everything. i mean it makes no sense to be afraid of secondhand smoke a hundred yards away from it. they have created this. they have created this inordinate fear of ordinary, everyday life.
Mean People Everyday
The forsytes were resentful of something, not individually, but as a family; this resentment expressed itself in an added perfection of raiment, an exuberance of family cordiality, an exaggeration of family importance, and the sniff. danger so indispensable in bringing out the fundamental quality of any society, group, or individual was what the forsytes scented; the premonition of danger put a burnish on their armour. for the first time, as a family, they appeared to have an instinct of being in contact, with some strange and unsafe thing.

Where utopianism is advanced through gradualism rather than revolution, albeit steady and persistent as in democratic societies, it can deceive and disarm an unsuspecting population, which is largely content and passive. it is sold as reforming and improving the existing society's imperfections and weaknesses without imperiling its basic nature. under these conditions, it is mostly ignored, dismissed, or tolerated by much of the citizenry and celebrated by some. transformation is deemed innocuous, well-intentioned, and perhaps constructive but not a dangerous trespass on fundamental liberties.
Imperfection Liberty Weakness
Perfection is the often the enemy of greatness.
