While many of the answers are obvious, the author tiptoes around one of the biggest: envy. Generally speaking, conservatives have it relatively under control, whereas leftists are pretty much driven by it. It's why they marry less and spend more time worrying about the lives of others; further, if you spend all your time wailing about the unfairness in the world, you don't have time to be grateful - and therefore happy - for what you already have.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-44849814303507144362012-07-09T19:07:06.814-07:002012-07-09T19:07:06.814-07:00I thought it was kinda cool.

We have a tendency to do exactly that, to cling to an image or a form and miss the essence. <br /><br />This also reminds me of Jesus speaking in John 7 where He said those who believe in Him would have rivers of living water flowing out of their innermost being -- that is "belly" in the the KJV -- a void. And for some Pentecostal preachers of my acquaintance, it is a great emptiness, indeed.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-39271606563531169862012-07-09T11:48:04.837-07:002012-07-09T11:48:04.837-07:00Waa Hooo-back in the saddle.Waa Hooo-back in the saddle.Naugfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913450162688332650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-47633908296873079992012-07-09T11:06:49.494-07:002012-07-09T11:06:49.494-07:00"Poetry and myth -- not to mention music and ..."Poetry and myth -- not to mention music and laughter -- are, one might say, the complement and consort of sober science and teetotalitarian rationality."<br /><br />They certainly should be.
