“Those whose primary concern is to destroy others are at the lowest level of development. Those who are only interested in their own satisfaction are farther along.

Then there are saints who just constantly live for the welfare of others.” FatherLevelsDevelopmentConcernSaintSatisfactionKarmaPrimariesWelfareLowest Author:Frederick Lenz

“In the face of the idea that truth might afford the opposite of satisfaction and turn out to be completely shocking to humanity at any given historical moment, ... the fathers of pragmatism made the satisfaction of the subject the criterion of truth. For such a doctrine there is no possibility of rejecting or even criticizing any species of belief that is enjoyed by its adherents.” MadeIdeasMomentsMightFacesHumanityTurnsFatherBeliefGivenSubjectsPossibilityOppositesHistoricalSpeciesSatisfactionDoctrineEnjoyedCriticizeShockingCriteriaRejectingPragmatism Book:Eclipse of Reason Source: Eclipse of Reason
