p13
Six days a week we wrestle with the world, wringing profit from the earth; on the sabbath we especially care for the seed of eternity planted in the soul. The world has our hands, but our soul belongs to someone else. Six days a week we seek to dominate the world, on the seventh we try to dominate the self.
Ok my favorite line is the last one. "Six days a week we seek to dominate the world, on the seventh we try to dominate the self."
It is so true that more often than not we are trying to force our view, our opinion, on anyone and everyone who listens. Be nature we try to dominate not Global domination but we try to dominate our realm of influence. But how often do we purposefully as we would someone try to make sure our own self is in the right. More often, we not only do what we know is wrong but we someone justify it, only to ourselves.
