But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Current condition of the BYU football program?

Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We might not need Barry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34859]]></link><description><![CDATA[We might not need Barry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never swap horses crossing a stream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never swap horses crossing a stream.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This panics the community.
