THERE ARE TEN STRONG THINGS. IRON IS STRONG, BUT FIRE MELTS IT. FIRE IS STRONG, BUT WATER QUENCHES IT. WATER IS STRONG, BUT THE CLOUDS EVAPORATE IT. CLOUDS ARE STRONG, BUT THE WIND DRIVES THEM AWAY. MAN IS STRONG, BUT FEARS CAST HIM DOWN. FEAR IS STRONG, BUT SLEEP OVERCOMES IT. SLEEP IS STRONG, YET DEATH IS STRONGER. BUT LOVING KINDNESS SURVIVES DEATH. -THE TALMUD
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PERSON WHO RELIES ONLY ON HIMSELF AND A PERSON WHO HAS LEARNT TO TURN TO GOD FOR HELP? IT'S NOT THAT ONE WILL DO BAD THINGS WHILE THE OTHER WILL DO GOOD THINGS. THE SELF-RELIANT ATHEIST MAY BE A FINE, UPSTANDING PERSON. THE DIFFERENCE IS THIS. THAT THE ATHEIST IS LIKE A BUSH GROWING IN THE DESERT. IF HE HAS ONLY HIMSELF TO RELY ON, WHEN HE EXHAUSTS HIS INTERNAL RESOURCES HE RUNS THE RISK OF RUNNING DRY AND WITHERING. BUT THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO TURNS TO GOD IS LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY A STREAM. WHAT THEY SHARE WITH THE WORLD IS REPLENISHED FROM A SOURCE BEYOND THEMSELVES, SO THEY NEVER RUN DRY. -RD
