WHAT ABOUT REASON?

What about reason?  It can be many things,  some that are
good.  It can also be an accessory, not of action, but of
withdrawal.

Reason deals in known factors but too little in the
unknown.  In the unknown its logic is only a presumption.
It attempts to project the future through past experience.  It
too often puts a cloak around the creation of life.

The tragedy of human life is that so often one has to be
surrounded by and involved with those who reason.

MANY BELIEVE THAT THEY CANNOT BE CREATORS OF THINGS

creator of things

Many believe that they cannot be creators of things, creators of life;
that they cannot set new patterns, be different.

They assume that any new things that come into existence must be by
someone else’s hand.

They take the creation of another person, embellish it, and give it
authority.

They then kneel before it, learn to fear it, retain it as a dogma, and
perhaps for a whole lifetime follow it, instead of calling forth a creation
of their own.
