“The acceptance of partition does not commit us to renounce Transjordan: one does not demand from anybody to give up his vision.

“Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. It may mean a giving up of familiar but limiting patterns, safe but unrewarding work, values no longer believed in, relationships that have lost their meaning.

“Reality is a harsh mistress. She demands our honesty. She demands our work. She demands that we give up comforts, that we let ourselves feel pain, that we accept how small we are and how little control we have over our lives.

“The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.” PeopleGivingRealConditionsTearsDemandGiving UpIllusionCriticismSighAbolitionIllusoryOpiumEmbryosHalosReal HappinessOpiatesSoullessCriticism Of Religion Book:Early Writings Source: Early Writings
