Beautiful...Methinks that whether you change the world or not, what's important is that you open yourself up to an adventurous and full life of worthwhile deeds....Don't cheat yourself....

Lovely piece, encouraging especially before the Great Fast begins. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." In pursuit of the ideal.

Awesome. It's an unexpected trouble to feel that despair come from that deep longing for more noble ages. But why despair when you can conquer yourself and change your world.

Once again, your thought anticipates mine own by just a few steps

I’ve been thinking about this longing for the past couple weeks. It seems to be the way forward for everything. Past irony, through despair, towards re-enchantment, towards greatness. This apathetic generation has very, very limited desires. I see it in myself as well as my friends, even as I’ve found myself longing for more than I ever have in my life. This must be the way. If God allows himself to long for us, then we should be longing way more than we ever have. Our desires are too small
