Reflection 463

Welcome!

Examine closely what sort of being you are

Examine closely what sort of being you are. Know your nature - that your body is mortal, but your soul immortal; that our life has two denotations, so to speak: one relating to the flesh, and this life is quickly over, the other relating to the soul, life without limit. "Give heed to thyself" - cling not to the mortal as if it were eternal; disdain not that which is eternal as if it were temporal.  Basil the Great
