love perspective essentials
Ultimately, love is only possible for humans insofar as they can achieve some comprehension of their place and their duties and their values and their significance within the whole of life, of society, of spirituality, of history, of nature. In all merely partial or fragmentary perspectives, there necessarily remain undigested irrational factors, surds that one is merely tolerating and not truly respecting as essential and integral to the whole of what we are.
eye opposites issues
All that the posture of skepticism accomplishes is to freeze the ego in an ignorantist poverty that never stretches or diversifies its resources of imagination or understanding. Any uncultured cretin can close his eyes and try to reduce the issues down to linear simplisms and say, "I am doubting, I am proving my magisterial or sovereign control over my own mind." Doubt is a useful and significant test of one's critical powers, but by itself it bears little if any significant cultural charge of enlightenment or satori; indeed it is the very opposite kind of thing.
thinking maturity self
What passes for education, culture or maturity in most minds is merely how individuals want to think of themselves, a contrived egocentric self-concept, not actual and effective principles and values. This is what is known in the cliche as the "veneer" of civilization.
art self medicine
In all technai or arts (medicine perhaps most of all), there is a self-exhilaration on the part of the practitioner (the intoxication of the ego with its own potency) which is infectious: the patient enjoys a placebo-effect which redounds to the ego of the "artist."
wisdom philosophy thinking
People who turn to philosophy expecting to harvest a crop of formulas of wisdom or understanding do not understand-philosophy has such things, but they are merely incidental, not the essence of the matter. Philosophy is about subtilizing and tuning up the coherence and acuity of one's seeing, it is about opening new dimensions for insight, learning to think about what one is doing when one thinks instead of just blundering through the processes of putting thoughts together.
pain memories silly
The Zen masters have the right idea-no pain no gain: thwack a silly nebbish and he'll remember it far longer and more indelibly than any words you muster at him. Not absolutely everything can or should have to be explained, and particularly not to everybody. But a concussion is a value-judgment anyone gets the point of.
thinking self understanding
Sadly the very thing that strikes us as obvious always defeats our thinking about it in more penetrating ways: just as the Romans said that "the good is the enemy of the better," so too "the self-evident is the enemy of the very process of clarification or understanding," not to mention the enemy of the "transcendent or ultimate."
base biggest came coaches field game home standing teammates tough watch
He and I had been standing in as the first base coaches during the biggest part of the game. It was tough on him to watch his teammates play and not be able to take the field himself. We came home before the game was over.
few marathon run
He always wanted to run a marathon when he was at school. My recommendation was: Give it a few years after you graduate. You have to develop.
armstrong county found people wonderful
He always told me the people in Armstrong County were wonderful and I found out he was right,
bar best country days front good pushed tight
He always pushed the bar higher, and I think his best days are probably still in front of him. He's as good as any tight end in the country in my opinion.
welcome
He always made you feel welcome and comfortable.

He called us and said there was this gifted dancer he'd seen. We saw him and granted him a full scholarship to the festival and now he's on tour with us.
brought deeper found home lived realize telling until work
He brought her to the hospital. He told us he'd come home from work and found her in his driveway. He didn't even tell us that he was her boyfriend, he told us he didn't know her. Until we got deeper into the investigation, we didn't realize that they lived together. There's no telling where he is now.
