		<title>Throw off the bowlines&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn&#8217;t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
&#8212; Mark Twain

		<title>A little socializing&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little socializing, like a little whiskey, is good. But more is not  better. The sobriety of solitary silence is superior to the sloughing off of self into the social, and the value of the latter is to enhance, by way of contrast, the delights of the former.  Thus spoke the introvert.

		<title>Do you have doubts about life?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you have doubts about life? Are you unsure if it is really worth the trouble? Look at the sky: that is for you. Look at each person&#8217;s face as you pass them on the street: those faces are for you. And the street itself, and the ground under the street, and the ball of [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Avoid God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How to Avoid God
Avoid silence, avoid solitude, avoid any train of thought that leads off the beaten track. Concentrate on money, sex, status, health and (above all) on your own grievances. Keep the radio on. Live in a crowd. Use plenty of sedation. If you must read books, select them very carefully. But you&#8217;d be [...]]]></description>

		<title>No God, No Meaning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No God, No Meaning
&#8230;our reason naturally aspires to encompass the totality of being; and our will for order and our need to make sense of existence lead us instinctively to seek that which is both the root and the keystone of existence, and gives it its meaning. Even atheists, Nietzsche among them, knew this: order [...]]]></description>

		<title>Image and Likeness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image and Likeness
Is &#8220;image and likeness&#8221; a redundant phrase, or does it mark a distinction? Arguably the latter. To be created in God&#8217;s image is to be granted the potentiality for sharing in the divine life, a potentiality that may or may not be actualized and is shared in equally by all human beings without [...]]]></description>
