Thoughts that can change your life

Throughout my career as a seminarist, Jesuit scholastic and journalist I wrote down thoughts that occurred to me and thoughts from my readings that I regarded as particularly interesting. Recently I went through my notes and extracted some of them. I classified them as thoughts on religion, politics and culture and human conduct. I hope that you too will find them interesting. Some examples of the material I covered are as follows: Why am I here? Conscience Religiosity versus organsised religion Idea of God Respect the mysteries Why God didn't create a perfect world Apparitions are easy to explain About success Money Love Wisdom On good judgement Morals Knowledge Real pleasure The goal of life Learn to know yourself Who really governs us? Planet in danger Church and state Interference with nature White collar proletariat Contradictions of the west Ruthless unity in the culture industry Right to kill ridiculous
