Usually, If We Hate, It Is The Shadow Of The Person That We Hate, Rather Than The Substance. We May Hate A Person Because He Reminds Us Of Someone We Feared And Disliked When Younger; Or Because We See In Him Some Gross Caricature Of What We Find Repugnant In Ourself; Or Because He Symbolizes An Attitude That Seems To Threaten Us.

Ninety Per Cent Of The World's Woe Comes From People Not Knowing Themselves, Their Abilities, Their Frailties, And Even Their Real Virtues. Most Of Us Go Almost All The Way Through Life As Complete Strangers To Ourselves - So How Can We Know Anyone Else?

Agnosticism Is A Perfectly Respectable And Tenable Philosophical Position; It Is Not Dogmatic And Makes No Pronouncements About The Ultimate Truths Of The Universe. It Remains Open To Evidence And Persuasion; Lacking Faith, It Nevertheless Does Not Deride Faith. Atheism, On The Other Hand, Is As Unyielding And Dogmatic About Religious Belief As True Believers Are About Heathens. It Tries To Use Reason To Demolish A Structure That Is Not Built Upon Reason.

Most People Are Mirrors, Reflecting The Moods And Emotions Of The Times; Few Are Windows, Bringing Light To Bear On The Dark Corners Where Troubles Fester. The Whole Purpose Of Education Is To Turn Mirrors Into Windows.
