We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life. We can think about what we think about our life, and we can think about what we think about that. We can shift perceptual positions many times over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they scored first, as a coach I was rethinking what we were doing.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Illusory joy is often worth more than genuine sorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Illusory joy is often worth more than genuine sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52548]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53736</guid></item></channel></rss>
