It was that sense which, without irreverence, I have thought to find expressed by the great evangelists when they speak of the fear of God.

People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens after the October meeting is far from clear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36603]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happens after the October meeting is far from clear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The probability is going up that there's going to be some kind of transaction involving Knight Ridder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34225]]></link><description><![CDATA[The probability is going up that there's going to be some kind of transaction involving Knight Ridder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were the ones who started the process, but we always expected others would join the party.
