Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Being Divine: A Baccalaureate Address First of all, it involves being yourself and insisting upon living your own life. Obviously to be yourself means to be your best self. As a child of God you have purposes and aspirations. You have a world of values dependent upon the things of the spirit. Being divine means being yourself at your best, for all that is finest in you is of God. The world, however, seems engaged in a conspiracy to crush the individual. Democracy would justify the tyranny of the majority. Our age in its splendid emphasis upon social obligations appears to argue against individuality. A due regard for the past and a worthy reverence for our elders counsels conservatism, which is often simply being what others have been. Public opinion, established custom, even fashion, demand strict conformity to conventionalities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
