Wisdom from Peter Kreeft

 
 
 

If we leave things alone, they will decay. If we do nothing, we will gradually become nothing. All progress, and all hope for joy, requires our action. Without our effort, the universe is a failure, not a work of art.

—Peter Kreeft

from his book, The Mystery of Joy

THE ONE TRUE JOY

Joy: we look for it, long for it, and spend our lives chasing it. Yet do we really know what it is? Is it a feeling, a state of mind, or a reward for success? Do we know where to find it? The more we seek it, the more it eludes us. This lucid, witty reflection on the true nature of joy convinces us, page after page, that while sorrow is inevitable, joy is very, very near at hand.
