I was watching TV and Fulton Sheen (an imminent Catholic priest) was on. He talked about how man resolved conflicts within through the ages. A couple of poetic quotes I'd like to share:
"Passions made me live; passions made me die." This was said by Jean-Jacques Rousseau of the Romantic movement, who is a primary philosophical foundation of the modern self-based conscience. It has such deep appeal to me as does for many, I am sure...though like wine only dulls the despair.
Before that Sheen also quoted the following by St. Augustine: "Our hearts are made for Thee O LORD, and restless until they rest in Thee." I am so moved by the resonance in my heart that the restlessness is not filled by worldly passions, but by the loving hands of the eternal father it is made by and tenderly held in.
Still...I stand at the edge and passion will not die.
