Pride and power fall when the person falls, but discoveries of truth form legacies that can be built upon for generations.

Pride and power fall when the person falls, but discoveries of truth form legacies that can be built upon for generations.

Fall, Pride, Discovery

Christianity, like genius, is one of the hardest concepts to forgive. We hear what we want to hear and accept what we want to accept, for the most part, simply because there is nothing more offensive than feeling like you have to re-evaluate your own train of thought and purpose in life. You have to die to an extent in your hunger for faith, for wisdom, and quite frankly, most people aren't ready to die.

Train Of Thought, People, Feelings

It is never ridicule, but a compliment, that knocks a philosopher off his feet. He is already positioned for every possible counter-attack, counter-argument, and retort...only to find a big bear hug coming his way.

Counter Attack, Feet, Hug

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.108, Criss Jami

Never take advice about never taking advice. That is an old vice of men - to dish it out without being able to take it - the blind leading the blind into more blindness.

Men, Advice, Vices

Criss Jami (2016). “Healology”, p.31, Criss Jami

When you're appeasing too much, you might be egotistically over-estimating everyone's need for your approval.

Approval, Needs, Might

Philosophy may serve as the bridge between theology and science. All atheism is a philosophy, but not all philosophy is atheism. Philosophy ('love of wisdom') is simply a tool depending on how one uses it, and in some cases, logically understanding the nature of God and existence.

Philosophy, Bridges, Understanding

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.10, Criss Jami

Hopefully, when your actions and deeds - and therefore other people - boast for you, you're made tired of hearing it, too, from your own mouth because if not, all could lose sight of those actions and deeds behind the gong of your boasting.

Tired, Sight, People

Criss Jami (2016). “Healology”, p.41, Criss Jami

In a general sense, I admit to valuing the worldviews of men under the age of 40 and women over the age of 30.

Men, Age, Worldview

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.109, Criss Jami

Songwriting and poetry are so commonly birthed from underdogs because one can make even the ugliest situations admirable, or more beautiful than the beautiful situations - they are the most graceful media in which the lines of society are distorted.

Beautiful, Media, Underdog

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.109, Criss Jami

Those who live as though God sets the rules are not going by their own rules. That is the self-sacrifice, or selflessness, that peace more often than not requires. Those who insist on going by their own rules cannot make that sacrifice. They are the steady adherents of (global) conflict because they are forever fighting both themselves and others to do whatever they think that they want to do.

Fighting, Sacrifice, Thinking

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.57, Criss Jami

The typical atheist rebels against God as a teenager rebels against his parents. When his own desires or standards are not fulfilled in the way that he sees fit, he, in revolt, storms out of the house in denial of the Word of God and in scrutiny of a great deal of those who stand by the Word of God. The epithet 'Heavenly Father' is a grand reflection, a relation to that of human nature.

Atheist, Father, Teenager

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.78, Criss Jami

Joy, like love, is an impenetrable, God-given state of being. The distinctions between joy and happiness and love and affection are important ones under the notion that happiness is an 'iffy' emotion, a highly dependent feeling both aroused and destroyed by external conditions apart from God. And the distinction between love and affection is parallel to such.

Love Is, Like Love, Joy

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.63, Criss Jami

You can't be a rebel without the scars that come with it. Truth is, some days scars are just as ugly as they are beautiful.

Beautiful, Rebel, Ugly

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.4, Criss Jami

If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.

Bullying, Adversity, Men

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.124, Criss Jami

Many people in a rather reckless context claim to 'just tell it like it is'. In actuality, nobody really stresses what one says so much as the motive behind what one says; hence, he is merely blowing hot air and detracting from 'what is'.

Stress, Air, People

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.92, Criss Jami

Love without humility results in the inclination to act as everyone's parent, humility without love results in the need to be everyone's child, and love with humility results in the desire to be a friend.

Children, Humility, Parent

Criss Jami (2016). “Healology”, p.36, Criss Jami

Whenever you feel like feeling like a devil's advocate, Bible-thump. That, in a worldly world, is the great irony and satire of evangelism.

Feelings, Devil, World

Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.66, Criss Jami

All individuals have moral deficiencies, and when introducing these to reality one not only strengthens himself but also the confidence of others in the human exigency for Christ due to a reflection throughout the body of Christ.

Reflection, Reality, Body
