Ask a sage, he will explain.
Ask a fool, he will complain.
We need to perceive ourselves as the special race.
If not, beasts will perceive themselves as the chosen.

Man does not commit sin in unintentional deed,
but he might be the only one that could justify it.
At time of peace, we should love one another.
At war, we should set our minds as the hunters.

I am wired by nature to love the same toys that the world loves. I start to fit in. I start to love what others love. I start to call earth "home." Before you know it, I am calling luxeries "needs" and using my money just the way unbelievers do. I begin to forget the war. I don't think much about people perishing. Missions and unreached people drop out of my mind. I stop dreaming about the triumphs of grace. I sink into a secular mind-set that looks first to what man can do, not what God can do. It is a terrible sickness. And I thank God for those who have forced me again and again toward a wartime mind-set.
