Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.
Our pets rely on us entirely for their nutrition. So if you're making your own judgments that could lead to a mistake. At the same time we have more control over our pet's diet than we do with our children or with ourselves so your vet can tell you what is appropriate for your dog and you can assign them that.
You all know that each title in the Chronicles has a chess theme that's partly because of the overall design of the Chronicles themselves - the game of chess as an analogue of the game of life.
The roundness of life's design may be a sign that there is a presence beyond ourselves.
I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.
We should always look upon ourselves as God's servants placed in God's world to do his work and accordingly labour faithfully for him not with a design to grow rich and great but to glorify God and do all the good we possibly can.
Though men are apt to flatter and exalt themselves with their great achievements yet these are in truth very often owing not so much to design as chance.
We were then in a dangerous helpless situation exposed daily to perils and death amongst savages and wild beasts not a white man in the country but ourselves.
Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us as a civilized society to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.
I think that obviously there is a perverse attraction to a fundamentally changed world or the end of the world. There is a death wish a perverse death wish. Not just for ourselves not just for the movie 'Death Wish ' but for the end of all human life.
