The urge to escape our real self is also an urge to escape the rational and the obvious. The refusal to see ourselves as we are develops a distaste for facts and cold logic.

A whole life long didst thou suffer that I too might be saved; and yet thy suffering is not yet at an end; but this too wilt thou endure, saving and redeeming me, this patient suffering of having to do with me, I who so often go astray from the right path, or even when I remained on the straight path stumbled along it or crept so slowly along the right path. Infinite patience, suffering of infinite patience. How many times have I not been impatient, wished to give up and forsake everything; wished to take the terribly easy way out, despair: but thou didst not lose patience. Oh, I cannot say what thy chosen servant says: that he filled up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh; no, I can only say that I increased thy sufferings, added new ones to those which thou didst once suffer in order to save me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played really good as a team.
