Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The further you go, the better chance there is that you're going to get your heart ripped out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32769]]></link><description><![CDATA[The further you go, the better chance there is that you're going to get your heart ripped out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given, not lent, And not withdrawn, once sent, This Infant of mankind, this One, Is still the little welcome Son. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given, not lent, And not withdrawn, once sent, This Infant of mankind, this One, Is still the little welcome Son.
