We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point.

We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins. Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence. Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake -- a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention. And therefore the action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So I had all the names, three names, and that's good to have on a soap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37976]]></link><description><![CDATA[So I had all the names, three names, and that's good to have on a soap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There must be more to life than having everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26502]]></link><description><![CDATA[There must be more to life than having everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her reasoning is it was an accident from day one.
