Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14907]]></link><description><![CDATA[My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Giles of Provence, Hermit, c.710   The purpose of religion -- at any rate, the Christian religion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Giles of Provence, Hermit, c.710   The purpose of religion -- at any rate, the Christian religion -- is not to get you into heaven, but to get heaven into you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ultimately, I would love to have everyone go.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like a glowworm golden, in a dell of dew, Scattering unbeholden its aerial blue  Among the flowers and grass ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like a glowworm golden, in a dell of dew, Scattering unbeholden its aerial blue  Among the flowers and grass which screen it from the view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.
