Kindle Notes & Highlights
It is the religious sense – a “radical engagement of the self with life” – that alone enables us to fulfil the promise of the scripture that we might have life and might have it more abundantly.
If someone has a narrow mind and a small, mean heart, he will find much less value in the world around him than a person who has a great soul, who is vivacious.
To summarize: if a certain thing does not interest me, then I do not look at it; if I do not look at it, then I cannot know it. In order to know it, I need to give my attention to it. In its Latin root, attention means “to be tensed toward …” If it interests me, strikes me, I will be “tensed toward” it when faced with it.
