1 " It is often said that we live in a youth culture. It's a lie. We live in an old culture. We idolize youth because we are old. We are tired and bored. Ancient cultures respected the old because those cultures were young. They were not bored. "
― Peter Kreeft , Doors in the Walls of the World: Signs of Transcendence in the Human Story
2 " Happiness can get boring, because it is the satisfaction of our desires, and we know what we desire. (Can you desire what you do not know?) Joy never gets boring because it transcends our desires and surprises them with gifts. "
3 " Doesn’t certainty about a universal negative require omniscience? Don’t you have to have knowledge of everywhere to know that there is no X anywhere? "
4 " There is a legend that in every age God spares the world the destruction it deserves only because there are a certain number of Abrahams, righteous men and women who keep the world alive by their righteousness and their prayers, by the mass and the gravity of their righteousness reverberating on the walls of the divine mercy. No one but God knows who these righteous are or how many there are. "
