“Growing up, I was watched by my parents and strongly critiqued. Instead of saying they loved me or showing physical attention, they would joke that I had a Roman nose - that it was roamin' all over my face. Teasing was their way of showing love, but then you are young, sometimes you can't tell the difference.” WaySometimesFacesYoungParentDifferencesAttentionGrowing UpGrowingJokesNosesTeaseShowing Love Author:Neil Strauss

“For him who is perfect in love and has reached the summit of dispassion there is no difference between his own or another's, or between Christians and unbelievers, or between slave and free, or between male and female. But because he has risen above the tyranny of the passions and has fixed his attention on the single nature of man, he looks on all in the same way and shows the same disposition to all. For in him there is neither Greek nor Jew, male nor female, bond not free, but Christ who 'is all, and in all' (Col. 3:11; cf. Gal. 3:28).” MenWayLooksShowsChristianPassionChristDifferencesPerfectAttentionFemaleSlaveMalesJewTyrannyGreekFixedOrthodoxDispositionSummitOrthodox ChristianRisenNature Of ManCfsUnbelieversGalsHe Has Risen Author:Maximus the Confessor
“Whether it's a penalty or a tax, it's all one in the same. It's coming out of somebody's hard-earned money in their pocketbooks and that's the point. So in some ways, to me, it's a distinction without a difference.” WayHardDifferencesTaxesDistinctionComing OutPenaltiesPocketbooks Author:Mike Lee
“The difference between fear and panic is knowing what to do. If you have a reliable, effective solution then fear is an asset. You know what to do and fear just makes you do it faster. On the other hand, if you don't know what to do - or don't trust what you know - then you will freeze in terror, because you have no clear goal or way to get there. Fear helps, panic hinders. Fear is your savior, panic your nemesis.” IfsKnowsWayHelpingHandsGoalDifferencesKnowingClearSolutionsTerrorFasterAssetsSaviorPanicFreezeDon't TrustHinderNemesisKnowing What To DoClear Goals Author:Marc MacYoung

“I love writing songs.

“If your primary focus is to get over your health problems or get past a relationship crisis so that you can return to your former life and old patterns- that is, get back to business as usual-you are not really living. The distinction is paradoxical and sometimes subtle. It's the difference between walking through your life on your way to somewhere, and walking as your life. Even if you believe that where you want to get is extremely important, that destination is secondary. Your immediate experience is what really matters. It is your life.” IfsWayWantLifeBelieveImportantSometimesMatterProblemPastDifferencesFocusReturnWalkingCrisisPatternsFormerPrimariesDistinctionSubtleOver YouDestinationGet BackUsualGet OverIf You BelieveParadoxicalHealth ProblemsReally LivingFormer Life Author:Richard Moss
“The economy is still substantially that of the fur trade, still based on the same general kinds of commercial items: technology, weapons, ornaments, novelties, and drugs. The one great difference is that by now the revolution has deprived the mass of consumers of any independent access to the staples of life: clothing, shelter, food, even water. Air access remains the only necessity that the average user can still get for himself, and the revolution has imposed a heavy tax on that by way of pollution. Commercial conquest is far more thorough and final than military defeat.” WayKindStillsWaterDifferencesTechnologyEconomyAirMilitaryRevolutionDrugTaxesWeaponsMassIndependentRemainsTradeFinalsDefeatAverageHeavyAccessConsumersClothingsUsersPollutionShelterConsumerismConquestItemsDeprivedNoveltyFurThoroughOrnamentsOverconsumptionStaples Book:The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture Source: The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture
