Antimony a skill in detecting irony

 

So what is it that we are seeking? What is it that a person wants? He sees that his life is boredom, a routine, a battlefield, a fight, a constant struggle with never a moment of peace, except perhaps occasionally sexually or otherwise. So he says, "Life is transient; life is changing; there must be something extraordinarily permanent," and he wants that permanency, something other than mere physical daily routine and experience. And he calls that "God." So he believes in God, and all the images, rituals are based on belief. Belief is the outcome of fear. If there is no fear you can see the leaf, the tree, the beautiful sky, the light and the birds and a face; there is beauty. And where there is beauty there is goodness. Where there is goodness there is truth.
