Comfort Satisfaction Sweetest

More From Matthew Henry

As a general rule, those who are dissatisfied with themselves will seek to go out of themselves into an ideal world. persons in strong health and spirits, who take plenty of air and exercise, who are "in favor with, their stars," and have a thorough relish of the good things of this life, seldom devote themselves in despair to religion or the muses. sedentary, nervous, hypochondriacal people, on the contrary, are forced, for want of an appetite for the real and substantial, to look out for a more airy food and speculative comforts.
Strong Stars Real
We want everything. all the happiness that earth and heaven are capable of bestowing. creature comforts, and heart and soul comforts also; and, proud-spirited beings that we are, we will not be put off with a part. give us only everything, and we will be content. and, after all, cinderella, you have had your day. some little dogs never get theirs. you must not be greedy. you have known happiness. the palace was paradise for those few months, and the prince's arms were about you, cinderella, the prince's kisses on your lips; the gods themselves cannot take that from you.
Dog Heart Kissing
The painting showed a hairless, oppressed creature with a head like an inverted pear, its hands clapped in horror to its ears, its mouth open in a vast, soundless scream. twisted ripples of the creature's torment, echoes of its cry, flooded out into the air surrounding it; the man or woman, whichever it was, had become contained by its own howl. it had covered its ears against its own sound. the creature stood on a bridge and no one else was present; the creature screamed in isolation. cut off by - or despite - its outcry.
Cutting Men Echoes
The future teachers i try to recruit are those show have refused to let themselves be neutered in this way, either in their private lives or in the lives that they intend to lead in school. when they begin to teach, they come into their classrooms with a sense of affirmation of the goodness and the fullness of existence, with a sense of satisfaction in discovering the unexpected in their students, and with a longing to surprise the world, their kids, even themselves, with their capacity to leave each place they've been ... a better and more joyful place than it was when they entered it.
Teacher School Kids
Since [narcissists] deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault. since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. they project their own evil onto the world. they never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.

You need to think about the system that you live in and the comforts that you have. but the comforts that you have that are causing the discomforts of a massive amount of people around the world.

I think that the essence of a free and civilized society is that everything in it should be subject to criticism, that all forms of authority, should be treated with a certain reservation.

If you think you got a better idea in terms of how to approach this that's not gonna result in more pollution, and more asthma, and more illness then put your ideas out there. but don't just oppose things because, "this was obama's agenda."

When you encounter another person, when you have dealings with anyone at all, it is as if a question is being put to you. so you must think, what is the lord asking of me in this moment, in this situation?
