("To know all is to forgive all.") No commonplace is more untrue. Behavior, whether conditioned by an individual neurosis or by society, can be understood, that is to say, one knows exactly why such and such an individual behaves as he does. But a personal action or deed is always mysterious. When we really act, precisely because it is a matter of free choice, we can never say exactly why we do this rather than that. But it is only deeds that we are required to forgive. If someone does me an injury, the question of forgiveness only arises if I am convinced (a) that the injury he did me was a free act on his part and therefore no less mysterious to him than to me, and (b) that it was me personally whom he meant to injure. Christ does not forgive the soldiers who are nailing him to the Cross; he asks the Father to forgive them. He knows as well as they do why they are doing this -- they are a squad, detailed to execute a criminal. They do not know what they are doing, because it is not their business, as executioners, to know whom they are crucifying. If the person who does me an injury does not know what he is doing, then it is as ridiculous for me to talk about forgiving him as it would be for me to "forgive" a tile which falls on my head in a gale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  For Christian consciousness, paradise is the Kingdom of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  For Christian consciousness, paradise is the Kingdom of Christ and is unthinkable apart from Christ. But this changes everything. The cross and the crucifixion enter into the bliss of paradise. The Son of God and the Son of Man descends into hell to free those who suffer there... To conquer evil, the good must crucify itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21911]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're in the minority.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm happy, but I'm tired, exhausted and emotionally drained. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37571]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm happy, but I'm tired, exhausted and emotionally drained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If that a pearl may in a toad's head dwell, And may be found too in an oyster shell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17016]]></link><description><![CDATA[If that a pearl may in a toad's head dwell, And may be found too in an oyster shell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope! thou nurse of young desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19764]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope! thou nurse of young desire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19764</guid></item></channel></rss>
