We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life. We can think about what we think about our life, and we can think about what we think about that.

I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In misery's darkest caverns known, His useful care was ever nigh,  Where hopeless Anguish pour'd his groan,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46468]]></link><description><![CDATA[In misery's darkest caverns known, His useful care was ever nigh,  Where hopeless Anguish pour'd his groan,   And lonely want retir'd to die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But for those on the right, ...

When the soul has sincerely given itself up to God, He fills it with His own peace, a peace which makes all earthly things indifferent -- as before His Presence, absorbing the heart. It is our strength, our comfort, our guide, the deeper and more confirmed it becomes, the greater our spiritual perfection; so that in truth to obtain and preserve this peace is the real secret of the interior life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uncertain ways unsafest are, And doubt a greater mischief than despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Uncertain ways unsafest are, And doubt a greater mischief than despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temptation rarely comes in working hours.
