“To the Technocrats: Have mercy on us. Relax a bit, take time out for simple pleasures. For example, the luxuries of electricity, indoor plumbing, central heating, instant electronic communication and such, have taught me to relearn and enjoy the basic human satisfactions of dipping water from a cold clear mountain stream; of building a wood fire in a cast-iron stove; of using long winter nights for making music, making things, making love; of writing long letters, in longhand with a fountain pen, to the few people on this earth I truly care about.” PeopleWritingHumansLongCareEarthNightBitsEnjoyWaterSimplePleasureClearFireExampleBuildingTaughtCommunicationColdMountainLettersMercyWinterCastsSatisfactionWoodsLuxuryInstantStreamsRelaxIronPensTake TimeMaking LoveElectricityFountainStovesPlumbingHeatingSimple PleasuresWinter NightMusic MakingFountain PensMountain StreamsElectronic CommunicationIndoor Plumbing Book:Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast Source: Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast
“Evil is nothing but a word, an objectification where no objectification is necessary. Cast aside this notion of some external agency as the source of inconceivable inhumanity - the sad truth is our possession of an innate proclivity towards indifference, towards deliberate denial of mercy, towards disengaging all that is moral within us. But if that is too dire , let's call it evil. And paint it with fire and venom.” IfsEvilMoralFireSourceTruth IsMercyPaintNotionCastsPossessionDenialIndifferenceAgencyDeliberateInnateInhumanityVenomObjectificationSad Truth Author:Steven Erikson

“The works of mercy are the opposite of the works of war, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, nursing the sick, visiting the prisoner. But we are destroying crops, setting fire to entire villages and to the people in them. We are not performing the works of mercy but the works of war.” PeopleWarFireMercyOppositesSickHungrySettingSettingsPerformingVillagePrisonerDestroyingHomelessFeedingCropsNursingVisiting Author:Dorothy Day

“People debate over whether or not there is a literal Hell, in the literal sense often described as fire and eternal torture, which, to many, seems to be too harsh a punishment. If men really want to fear something, they should be fearing separation from God, the supposedly more comforting alternative to a literal Hell. For separation from the authorship of love, mercy, and goodness is the ultimate torture. If you think a literal Hell sounds too bad, you are very much underestimating the pain of being absolutely, wholly separated from the goodness while exposed to the reality of the holiness of God.” LovePhilosophyGodRealityPainReligionSufferingSpiritualityFearSinHellFireGraceComfortGoodnessBibleMercyEternityAtheistSeparationPunishmentTortureHolinessFundamentalismTheologianWrathEvangelismLiteralSkepticApologeticsTheistWrath Of GodPit Of Fire Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
