Life is supplied with a basic adequacy... The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions -- they don't lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy... When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must face the recognition that what the early Christians saw in Jesus Christ, and what we must accept if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must face the recognition that what the early Christians saw in Jesus Christ, and what we must accept if we look at him rather than at our imaginations about him, was not a person characterized by universal benignity, loving God and loving man. His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love isn't who you can see yourself with, it's who you can't see yourself without. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love isn't who you can see yourself with, it's who you can't see yourself without.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am concerned about their offense.
