Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.
I believe that if a man wanted to walk on water, and was prepared to give up everything in life, he could do it.
But the main things about a man are his eyes and his feet. He should be able to see the world and go after it.
We are told that the trouble with modern man is that he has been trying to detach himself from nature... In this scenario, Man comes on as a stupendous lethal force, and the Earth is pictured as something delicate, like rising bubbles at the surface of a country pond, or flights of fragile birds.
Paradise is too perfect for humanity.
Man must be in space - that is what we are destined for. There is nothing else that we can do.
By aiming for paradise, we lose sight of earth. Hope of a beyond and aspiration to an afterlife engender a sense of futility in the present. If the prospect of getting taken up to paradise generates joy, it is the mindless joy of a baby picked up from his crib.
The heart of man is, so to speak, the paradise of God.
Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
We all see that, today, man can destroy the foundation of his existence: his Earth.
