Quotes

"People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel." Maya Angelou So it is now generally thought that desiring to do something is a sufficient or at least a weighty reason for doing it. From this we get our overall culture of sensuality, in which people are almost completely governed by their feelings. Within that context the major ills of contemporary life fall readily into place: everything from obesity to elder abuse, from broken families with broken lives to drug dependency and addiction, from misuse of credit to contempt and animosities between racial and other groups. Over these we helplessly chant our slogans such as “choice,” “diversity” and “tolerance” hoping the grim and grinding realities will go away. These ills are the natural outcomes of a culture that finds the saying “If it feels good, do it” humorous instead of morally ridiculous [.] (82) Dallas Willard
