13 Apr 2006 - today's quote |
The heart of man is the place the devil dwells in: I feel sometimes a
hell within myself.

Then concentrate on the Heaven that also lies within you. :-) v

I blame God for this. A simple evil spirit firewall over the heart could
have prevented this whole mess.

sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Good idea, where can I get a firewall for my heart?
Is there anything else that can be badly broken yet still break over
and over again?

Good questions. Personally, I don't feel that a broken heart ever does
heal. The wound is always there, you simply don't recall the pain as often
as time goes on.
But given the highly developed emotional sense memories most all
depressives have, we can recall that pain at a moments notice and feel it
as if it was happening again.
It seems as if the heart keeps all wounds open and available for
re-examination at any future time.

The second item in the liberal creed, after self-righteousness, is
unaccountability. Liberals have invented whole college majors - psychology,
sociology, women's studies - to prove that nothing is anybody's fault. No
one is fond of taking responsibility for his actions, but consider how much
you'd have to hate free will to come up with a political platform that
advocates killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. A callous
pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout Christian
would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to arrive at the
liberal view.

Now *that's* at least as quotable a statement as any I've ever seen.

Yes, I agree but I think the only real way of mending 'it' is to love
again, but I just don't have the energy or courage for that at the
moment.
The second item ...

liberal view.
Good quote. ;-/

I had a broken heart as an adolescent - who doesn't? Nowadays when I
think of it I cringe, rather than hurt.

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?
