What, we are really asking, is the purpose of suffering? It seems purposeless. Our question of the why of evil assumes the view that the world has a purpose, and what we want to know is how suffering fits into and advances this purpose. The modern view is that suffering has no purpose because nothing that happens has any purpose: the world is run by causes, not by purposes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never hit a ball that far that didn't go over a fence.

The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just to cover the increase in fuel costs over the past two years, American would have had to raise fares ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just to cover the increase in fuel costs over the past two years, American would have had to raise fares nearly $75 per round-trip ticket.

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit's an unruly engine, wildly striking Sometimes a friend, sometimes the engineer:  Hast thou the knack? pamper it not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit's an unruly engine, wildly striking Sometimes a friend, sometimes the engineer:  Hast thou the knack? pamper it not with liking;   But if thou want it, buy it not too deare    Many affecting wit beyond their power,     Have got to be a deare fool for an houre.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hypocrisy is the lubricant of society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy is the lubricant of society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An obstacle is often an unrecognized opportunity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44815]]></link><description><![CDATA[An obstacle is often an unrecognized opportunity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though they seem at opposite poles, fanatics of all kinds are actually crowded together at one end.
