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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's easy to make good decisions when there are no bad options. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19295]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easy to make good decisions when there are no bad options.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder [said Socrates] is very much the affection of a philosopher; for there is no other beginning of philosophy than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder [said Socrates] is very much the affection of a philosopher; for there is no other beginning of philosophy than this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   In the first ages, [catechizing] was a work of long time; months, sometimes years, were devoted to the arduous task of disabusing the mind of the incipient Christian of its pagan errors, and of moulding it upon the Christian faith. The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6981</guid></item></channel></rss>
