ENIGMA OF LIVING
Man is an enigma. He wants to live a long time, yet is constantly threatening himself with annihilation. He desires the enjoyment of good health, yet regularly ignores the basic rules for it. He longs for immortality, yet lives a life not fit to live forever. He loves liberty, yet steadily makes himself a slave to false masters. He has the possibility of being a saint, yet so often he chooses to be a sinner. He is the only creature that can stoop below itself, becoming a — rat — a skunk — a cur — a snake-in-the-grass — yet he can ascend through God’s grace to angelic heights. By Gilbert L. Guffin
