More From Saint Francis De Sales

What is the purpose for which masonry exists? its ultimate purpose is the perfection of humanity. mankind it self is still in a period of youth. we are only now beginning to acquire a consciousness of the social aim of civilization, which is man's perfection. such perfection can never end with physical perfection, which is only the means to the end or spiritual perfection.
Spiritual Mean Men
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. it is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. as the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. when the affection is the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. under no circumstances can the food be omitted.

Religion consists much in holy affection; but those exercises of affection which are most distinguishing of true religion are these practical exercises. friendship between earthly friends consists much in affection; but those strong exercises of affection that actually carry them through fire and water for each other are the highest evidences of true friendship.

That's why i like listening to schubert while i'm driving. like i said, it's because all his performances are imperfect. a dense, artistic kind of imperfection stimulates your consciousness, keeps you alert. if i listen to some utterly perfect performance of an utterly perfect piece while i'm driving, i might want to close my eyes and die right then and there. but listening to the d major, i can feel the limits of what humans are capable of - that a certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect. and personally i find that encouraging.
