Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I am not for myself, who will be for me?

It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you get tired of walking around San Francisco, you can always lean against it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8758]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you get tired of walking around San Francisco, you can always lean against it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why shouldn't a PC work like a refrigerator or a toaster? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why shouldn't a PC work like a refrigerator or a toaster?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know how men in exile feed on dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45323]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know how men in exile feed on dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45323</guid></item></channel></rss>
