The narrow philosophy is that which only allows of one mood, such as rebellion, or disdain, or even despair. The large philosophy is that which allows of many moods; such as charity, or zeal, or patience. And it is so with what I count the largest of philosophies; which can be in revolt against the Prince of the World while it is loyal to the creator of the World; which can love the world like St. Francis, or renounce the world like St. Jerome. The point is that the Christian not only has mirth and indignation and compassion and comradeship and individual isolation; but he has them consistently; and each of them has a clear place in his theory of things. |
