But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every year tuition is reviewed and if tuition goes up, it is usually due to rising costs and general raises ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31225]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every year tuition is reviewed and if tuition goes up, it is usually due to rising costs and general raises due to inflation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hit felt up high and that's why I lost my cool.
