LOVE it. Specifically, as regards the "alive" part, I know we all feel that way sometimes and act accordingly, but I bet that desire to feel truly alive can lead people down the wrong paths in more "obvious" ways. For example, I read a long time ago that men who have mid-life crises and affairs are seeking that sort of fulfillment. BUT, what is true life?

Generic Christianity and Christian thought aren't doing anybody any good, I say! Also, the part about novelty reminds me of an excerpt I read from the Screwtape Letters; in it, the devil was talking about how man's addiction to newness is something that he takes pleasure in exploiting. Goodness, that made an impression on me when I read it because sometimes I irritate MYSELF with how easily and quickly I become bored. It's actually not a pleasant feeling.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023930548557232654noreply@blogger.com
