And unexpressed feelings comeforth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are thereincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment anddisillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rageor anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are otherembodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing,not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects thequality of their relationships with others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One morning I woke up and was plunged into psychological shock.

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[When you treat a kid as an adult, they start to act as an adult in the way they commit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28204]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you treat a kid as an adult, they start to act as an adult in the way they commit crimes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't one of you fire until you see the whites of their eyes."N.B.: A lesser-known version of this quotation was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't one of you fire until you see the whites of their eyes."N.B.: A lesser-known version of this quotation was supposedly said by Frederick the Great at Prague in 1757: "By push of bayonets, no firing till you see the whites of their eyes. - Battle of Bunker Hill, 1775.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in this case save the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lightning is the shorthand of a storm, and tells of chaos. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43826]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lightning is the shorthand of a storm, and tells of chaos.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always thought it could be a dangerous hurricane, ... is the typical track for October. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40859]]></link><description><![CDATA[We always thought it could be a dangerous hurricane, ... is the typical track for October.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52194]]></link><description><![CDATA[We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Union gives strength to the humble. [Lat., Auxilia humilia firma consensus facit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Union gives strength to the humble. [Lat., Auxilia humilia firma consensus facit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I no have education.

So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics.
