"Adam Smith's enormous authority resides, in the end, in the same property that we discover Marx: not in any ideology, but in an effort to see to the bottom of things." Robert L. Heilbroner commenting on An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations--
We are no Adam Smith, but we are putting forth "an effort to see to the bottom of things."

"A Place That Has To Be Believed Before It Can Be Seen"*
Everlasting life is a great concept.
It made life easier and more difficult. It gave us an incentive to live and to die.
Heaven is not a brilliant thought. If you really want to stop and ponder about Heaven, think about how great it could really be if it could be grasped in its entirety while we are still on earth.

ReplyDeleteYou cannot fully grasp heaven or God while on Earth. They are spectacular. They are anti-reality.
Actually, I think they're non-existant.
