In itself our nature is far removed from the angels, but through God’s goodness and the body’s union with Him it has become higher than the angels.
~ St. John Damascene

Dangerous Instrument
I wonder if a man handing another man an extremely sharp, polished, two-edged instrument would hand it over with the air, gestures, and expression of one delivering a bouquet of flowers?
Would not this be madness?
What does one do, then? Convinced of the excellence of the dangerous instrument, one recommends it unreservedly, to be sure, but in such a way that in a certain sense one warns against it.
~ Søren Kierkegaard
