More From Erich Fromm

Being blind is as simple as closing your eyes. the blind don't act any different than you or i. you never see a blind person going around saying, 'i'm blind.' so if you want to play blind just close your eyes and keep them closed and fare thee well.
Eye Simple Play
Take for example providing a guide dog for a blind person. that's a good thing to do, right? all right. it is a good thing to do. but you have to think what else you could do with the resources. it costs about $40,000 to train a guide dog and train the recipient so that the guide dog can be an effective help to a blind person. it costs somewhere between 20 and $50 to cure a blind person in a developing country if they have trachoma. so you do the sums, and you could provide one guide dog for one blind american or you could cure between 400 and 2,000 people of blindness.
Country Dog Thinking
Why did we become blind, i don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, do you want me to tell you what i think, yes, do, i don't think we did go blind, i think we are blind, blind but seeing, blind people who can see, but do not see.

There is not a hint of one person who was afraid to draw near him [jesus]. there were those who mocked him. there were those who were envious of him. there were those who misunderstood him. there were those who revered him. but there was not one person who considered him too holy, too divine, or too celestial to touch. there was not one person who was reluctant to approach him for fear of being rejected.
Jesus Misunderstood Hints
We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.
Exercise Knowledge And Power Discovery
Knowing god without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride. knowing our own wretchedness without knowing god makes for despair. knowing jesus christ strikes the balance because he shows us both god and our own wretchedness.

Jesus was not just godly, godlike, god hungry, god focused, or god worshipping. he was god. not merely a servant of god, instrument of god, or friend of god, but jesus was god.
Jesus Godly Servant Of God
If we all gave all our goods to the poor, the church would fall apart. if we all hated our father and mother, as jesus told us to, there'd be an end of the church's emphasis on the family as being the one important thing holding the whole society together. there are all sorts of ways in which the church's teachings contradict directly what jesus says in the gospel.
Mother Jesus Father
What planned parenthood is doing is not the faith that i believe in, but jesus never ordered anyone to be killed and he never raised his hand to injure anyone specifically. but mohammed did and there is a big difference in this.
Jesus Believe Hands
There's no greater model, in my view, than jesus christ.
