| Posted 12/15/2001 4:54 AM (GMT -6) |   | Picked up "Satan And The Problem of Evil" last week. Halfway through it. In reference to "Corruptio Optimi Pessima," Greg writes:
quote:
Even after suffering painful rejections-some of which perhaps inspired promises that we will never risk in love again-most of us in time nevertheless choose to love again. Further, those who are healthy instinctively view those who choose not to risk in love as making a profoundly unhealthy decision.
and in the footnotes,
quote:
Indeed, if they persist in their self-protective, loveless wall of isolation we view them as sinking into a pathetic form of subhuman existence. I will argue in chapter twelve that hell can be best thought of as the end point of this sinking.
This reminds me of a song by Canadian singer/songwriter and strong Roman Catholic, Gino Vannelli.

Living Inside Myself
In my life
I've felt so self assured
But suddenly it's all changed
She's a cloud
That hangs above my world
And I find myself wond'ring in the rain
And now I can't go on
'cause I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I need a guiding light
To shine on my darkest days
I was young, and time was on my side
But like a fool I let it slip away
And now those days are gone
And I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
In my life
I've felt so self-assured
But oh how all the seasons change
And now I'm not that strong
'cause I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this hell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
