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.

Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can provide any number of medical [or] social work interventions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39427]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can provide any number of medical [or] social work interventions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis with our judgments as our watches, none Go just alike, yet each believes his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23545]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis with our judgments as our watches, none Go just alike, yet each believes his own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can scarcely manage to scribble a tolerable English letter.
