The Human Soul

January 19, 2009 | |

I haven't had any original thoughts lately. I don't think anybody in the modern era can have an original and moral thought. But in my unoriginality, here is another perfect quote:

"How does he [God] manifest himself now?" asked the Savage.
"Well, he manifests himself as an absence; as though he weren't there at all." [replied Mustapha Mond].

- Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

You can't get rid of God: he leaves a hole where he should be, where man wishes he was. People wonder why God doesn't give them concrete, physical reasons to believe, and they are right, he doesn't give that to most people. But he does give us a hole! God is Good, God is Great, God is Excellent!
