What does the illusion of waiting and wishing teach us? It teaches us that the world does not wait for anyone; that apathy, inaction, and fear stifle the human spirit; that courage and a sense of adventure are the attributes of the faithful; that we must cherish the honor of choosing our everlasting destiny before we have lost that chance. Simply waiting and wishing for a miracle will not lead us to the haven of hope and peace. As a rule, it leads us to the depths of despair. The parable of the talent uttered by Jesus (Matt. 25:14-30) testifies to the truth of this principle (1:10) The powers and intensity of illusions and fancies in human life are incredible. They are so vast and fascinating that they deserve an entire volume (1:11) References: |
