Terence: nihil humanum alienum a me-"nothing human is alien to me," the greatest expression of ancient megalopsychia or great-souled and cosmopolitan "magnanimity."
Always, a form of self-equilibration, a soul or psyche, is trying to assert itself, to continue the melody of its self-realized life.
This same formula by which Buddhists so anti-rationalistically and anti-banausically describe the "relation" between soul and body also applies to the relation between lover and lover, parent and child, member and community.
Soul one might say is more imperfectly infinite than spirit, because soul tends to abolish the ego-consciousness that it absorbs or overwhelms, reducing its particularizing structure to pure sublime feeling (immediacy); but spirit is more successfully infinite than soul, even though also more difficult and abstruse, because it digests the functions of consciousness into itself and thus preserves and deploys the senses and intelligence of conscious ego to higher ends.
What may be the significance of so many forms of "spirituality" on this planet that are antagonistic to "life" - and Christianity at the head of that list, with its "calumny" against life, its faith that just because nothing in life is eternal therefore life itself contains no value, nothing that makes it worth living, investing our souls in, committing our consciences to?

They broke that window out, reached inside and unhooked the chain and unbolted the dead bolt. Then we had a screw through the door that's why he had to kick the door in.
We've got to work on the third quarter. It's been our Achilles heel all year. We got to do something to get us a good look at the basket. Maybe we'll go in at half and meditate. I don't know what it is, but we've got to do something.
We give more awards than a lot of tournaments do.
We were one game away from being in the final four. I thought our kids played with intensity and heart, and they never gave up.
These are the types of communities where we come from, and this is one way we can help take care of our own.
This group of seniors is a special group. There are a lot of teams that don't like to come to practice. This team wasn't like that. They loved to come to practice; they loved to talk basketball; they loved to try to do whatever they had to do to win.
The most improved player in the whole Valley. No doubt about it. It was all guts. He's not a kid that you sit down and watch lots of film with because he is what I would call not the most cerebral player, but he's the toughest player.
That was a 10. Even after 15 times it was a 10.
