“For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.” KnowsChildrenHas BeensWholePainChoicesCreationEnvironmentalGloriousFrustrationDecayBondageLiberatedChild Of GodChildbirthPresent TimeGroaning Author:Paul the Apostle
“The signs that presage growth, so similar, it seems to me, to those in early adolescence: discontent, restlessness, doubt, despair, longing, are interpreted falsely as signs of decay. In youth one does not as often misinterpret the signs; one accepts them, quite rightly, as growing pains. One takes them seriously, listens to them, follows where they lead. ... But in the middle age, because of the false assumption that it is a period of decline, one interprets these life-signs, paradoxically, as signs of approaching death.” DoeSeemsAgePainGrowthAcceptingDoubtGrowingMiddleYouthPeriodsDespairLongingAssumptionDeclineDecayAdolescenceMiddle AgesDiscontentRestlessnessGrowing PainsFalse AssumptionsApproaching Death Author:Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.” PeopleWorldMomentsFactsBodyEyePainSufferingThreeEnjoyAirFeetHorrorHundredRateCornersSecondsSympathyScreamApathyDecayEnjoy LifeCrushedElevenDistressingCorners Of The World Author:Aldous Huxley
