On Teaching the Important Things

Stefy

The "tremendous examination of existence" as Chesterton called it, will not be based on whether we have been to college, but on whether we seriously, yet in good humor, confronted in our lives the highest things. 

The ordinary modern progressive position is that this a bad universe, but it will certainly get better. I say it is certainly a good universe, even if it gets worse... We are to regard existence as a raid or great adventure... The most dangerous thing in the world is to be alive. And living is "dangerous" not because we have been given the chance to fail, but because we have been given the chance to see that in the beginning, all things were good, and we did not notice.
