The Tragedy Of Being Both

Erotic Or Sexual Love Can Truly Be Love If It Is Not Selfishly Sexual Or Lustful.

All Genuine Learning Is Active, Not Passive. It Involves The Use Of The Mind, Not Just The Memory. It Is A Process Of Discovery, In Which The Student Is The Main Agent, Not The Teacher.

There Is A Strange Fact About The Human Mind, A Fact That Differentiates The Mind Sharply From The Body. The Body Is Limited In Ways That The Mind Is Not. One Sign Of This Is That The Body Does Not Continue Indefinitely To Grow In Strength And Develop In Skill And Grace. By The Time Most People Are Thirty Years Old, Their Bodies Are As Good As They Will Ever Be; In Fact, Many Persons' Bodies Have Begun To Deteriorate By That Time. But There Is No Limit To The Amount Of Growth And Development That The Mind Can Sustain. The Mind Does Not Stop Growing At Any Particular Age.

Freud's View Is That All Love Is Sexual In Its Origin Or Its Basis. Even Those Loves Which Do Not Appear To Be Sexual Or Erotic Have A Sexual Root Or Core. They Are All Sublimations Of The Sexual Instinct.

Television, Radio, And All The Sources Of Amusement And Information That Surround Us In Our Daily Lives Are Also Artificial Props. They Can Give Us The Impression That Our Minds Are Active, Because We Are Required To React To Stimuli From The Outside. But The Power Of Those External Stimuli To Keep Us Going Is Limited. They Are Like Drugs. We Grow Used To Them, And We Continuously Need More And More Of Them. Eventually, They Have Little Or No Effect. Then, If We Lack Resources Within Ourselves, We Cease To Grow Intellectually, Morally, And Spiritually. And We We Cease To Grow, We Begin To Die.
