More From Saint Augustine

The most extraordinary of all the things called miracles, related in the new testament, is that of the devil flying away with jesus christ, and carrying him to the top of a high mountain; and to the top of the highest pinnacle of the temple, and showing him and promising to him all the kingdoms of the world . how happened it that he did not discover america? or is it only with kingdoms that his sooty highness has any interest.
Jesus America Miracle
When you give up vengeance, make sure you are not giving up on justice. the line between the two is faint, unsteady, and fine...vengeance is our own pleasure of seeing someone who hurt us getting it back and then some. justice, on the other hand, is secure when someone pays a fair penalty for wronging another even if the injured person takes no pleasure in the transaction. vengeance is personal satisfaction. justice is moral accounting...human forgiveness does not do away with human justice.

We may think that justice is everyone being equal, having the same rights, sharing the same kind of advantages, but maybe we have not had the chance to look at the nature of justice in terms of no-self. that kind of justice is based on the idea of self, but it may be very interesting to explore justice in terms of no-self.
Thinking Rights Self
I have myself always been terrified of plagiarism - of being accused of it, that is. every writer is a thief, though some of us are more clever than others at disguising our robberies. the reason writers are such slow readers is that we are ceaselessly searching for things we can steal and then pass off as our own: a natty bit of syntax, a seamless transition, a metaphor that jumps to its target like an arrow shot from an aluminum crossbow.
