More From Alexander Pope

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love. no virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint. therefore we must be saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.
Love Beautiful Forgiveness
Let us consider what we call vicious luxury. no gratification, however sensual, can of itself be esteemed vicious. a gratification is only vicious when it engrosses all a man's expense, and leaves no ability for such acts of duty and generosity as are required by his situation and fortune. the same care and toil that raise a dish of peas at christmas would give bread to a whole family during six months.
Men Luxury Generosity
The old doctrine that god wanted man to do something for him, and that he kept a watchful eye upon all the children of men; that he rewarded the virtuous and punished the wicked, is gradually fading from the mind. we know that some of the worst men have what the world calls success. we know that some of the best men lie upon the straw of failure. we know that honesty goes hungry, while larceny sits at the banquet. we know that the vicious have every physical comfort, while the virtuous are often clad in rags.
Children Honesty Lying
Some of the most intriguing new research is in the area of extreme weather events and rainfall. a recent study by german scientists published in climatic change projects that extreme precipitation will increase significantly in regions that are already experiencing extreme rainfall. man-made global warming has already increased the moisture content of the air worldwide, causing bigger downpours. each additional degree of temperature increase causes another seven percent increase in moisture in the air, and even larger downpours when storm conditions trigger heavy rains and snows.

The lover`s discourse was of an extreme solitude. the solitude was extreme because it wasn`t physical. it was extreme because you felt it while in the company of the person you loved. it was extreme because it was in your head, the most solitary of places.
Solitude Lovers Solitary
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love. no virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our own standpoint. therefore we must be saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness.

The meeting points the sacred hair dissever from the fair head, forever, and forever! then flashed the living lightning from her eyes, and screams of horror rend th' affrighted skies.

Imagine all the people living life in peace.
Peace Live Life Perhaps Love
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
