“When the allegory is written in the style of History, and is confined to occurrences that may have taken place, it is called a PARABLE.”
– Samuel Green, from his HANDBOOK
Stop “teaching”

If you are standing in the front of a classroom (supposedly “teaching”) and you’re always right – – – and the pupil is always wrong – Leave. Go be a lumber-jack, a short-order cook, etc. A good teacher will at times admit he was wrong. At other times he should honestly say, “I do not know.” The best teachers are themselves on a quest for truth.

Search the library

Search the library high, in the attic, by the sky
Search the library low, in basement or below
Search in the Great Literature section
In great histories or another connection
And you will fail to find
Anything as lovely, anything so divine
As the Good Book (by comparisons all others are bad).

“You’re too serious about heaven/hell.”
It is very doubtful that has been said in either place.

Some people have gone on a long vacation, a trip to Europe, or a cruise and later said, “It was not worth it.”
Not one soul in heaven has ever said, “It was not worth it.”
