Very well stated Herr CGJ, beautiful! Some gems:
- We cannot change anything unless we accept it
- I am the oppressor of the person I condemn
- In actual life it requires the greatest art to be simple, and so acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the acid test of one's whole outlook on life
- How is Man to Love the Enemy in his own heart and call the Wolf his brother?
- *...but the person who tells [another] that he is too egoistic has already lost his confidence and rightly so, for that person has driven him still further into his neurosis
- ...it is moreover, only in the state of complete abandonment and loneliness that we experience the helpful powers of our own Natures
- When one has several times seen this development at work, one can no longer deny that what was evil has turned to good and what seemed good has kept alive the forces of evil
Thank you LZ 🙏! I'm also a fan of AW and his limericks :)
