Nadie se preocupa por lo que va a ocurrir dentro de millones de años. Aunque crean que se están preocupando por ello, en realidad se engañan a sí mismos. Se preocupan por cosas mucho más mundanas aunque sólo sea una mala digestión; pero nadie es realmente desdichado al pensar lo que le va a ocurrir a este mundo dentro de millones de años. ↗

— Bertrand Russell

Existe este hecho curioso: cuanto más intensa ha sido la religión de cualquier periodo, y más profunda la creencia dogmática, han sido mayor la crueldad y peores las circunstancias. En las llamadas edades de la fe, cuando los hombres realmente creían en la religión cristiana en toda su integridad hubo la Inquisición con sus torturas; hubo muchas desdichadas mujeres quemadas por brujas; y toda clase de crueldades practicadas en toda clase de gente en nombre de la religión. ↗

Last, we may suppose that it gave pleasure both to relate and to hear wonderful stories, because such is human nature; and the pleasure can be increased, at least till the point of incredulity is reached, by exaggerating the wonderful. So some real happening at the base of an account may be reconstructed by shrinking the account down to the physically possible. ↗

We have to be ready for the blessings God tosses at us. In order to catch your blessing, you have to let go of your burden. ↗
