Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kingdom That Must Be Built Whether it is because one grows older and therefore wiser, or because one becomes disillusioned with the ordinary objects of the world´s desire, such as money or pleasure or fame, the fact remains that there often comes to us at last a passionate longing for things that are true and simple and lasting. The world as such seems so pathetically interested in the transitory; politicians, publicists, business-men, in fact most people, stake so much on what is uncertain that at the last they seem to have missed any true or real values in return for all their effort and pain. A few principles seem to stand out, like great rocks which never wear away, and a life built on them cannot be altogether wasted; but even they need some further background if they are to have their full value and interpretation. They contain a measure of eternal validity, but unless we can ´hitch them to a star´ which explains them and gives them immortality, there remains something tragic in their short-lived sweetness.
