From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
23 October
Life is replete with confusion and frustration, with
injustice and folly, with gargantuan abusive/abusing self-centeredness. Evil
seems inextricably woven into the fabric of life. More often than you and I
care to admit, our noses are rubbed into that evil.
But as prevalent as is evil, so prevalent are sunsets and
rosebuds. Surely you and I are meant to drink in all that abundant beauty -
beauty poured out for us with multiferious, subtle, casual prodigality. Surely
beauty of that magnitude, of that diversity, is meant to feed, at least
partially, our parched spirits as we cope with those inescapable evils. Stopping
to smell the flowers feeds the soul.
