		<title>Joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;&#8230;what I had felt&#8230;had also been desire, and only possession in so far as that kind of desire is itself desirable, is the fullest possession we can known on earth; or rather, because the very nature of joy makes nonsense of our common distinction between having and wanting. There, to have is to want and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=somethingorrother.wordpress.com&blog=3413109&post=135&subd=somethingorrother&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Selfishness vs. Self-centeredness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The distinction is not unimportant. One of the happiest men and most pleasing companions I have ever known was intensely selfish. On the other hand I have known people capable of real sacrifice whose lives were nevertheless a misery to themselves and to others, because self-concern and self-pity filled all their thoughts. Either condition will [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=somethingorrother.wordpress.com&blog=3413109&post=130&subd=somethingorrother&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What I like best about experience is that it is such an honest thing. You may take any number of wrong turnings; but keep your eyes open and you will not be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear. You may have deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you.

		<title>The measure of distance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The truest and most horrible claim made for modern transport is that it &#8216;annihilates space.&#8217; It does. It annihilates one of the most glorious gifts we have been given. It is a vile inflation which lowers the value of distance, so that a modern boy travels a hundred miles with less sense of liberation and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=somethingorrother.wordpress.com&blog=3413109&post=133&subd=somethingorrother&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Novelty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It would seem to me that all of humanity shares a common need, outisde those most obvious (food, shelter, water), which I find surprising. The need for novelty; which, following the fall in the garden, results in the propensity toward boredom. This need, and it&#8217;s consequential futility, can be seen everywhere I look. The thousands [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=somethingorrother.wordpress.com&blog=3413109&post=96&subd=somethingorrother&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Society</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Friendship has been by far the chief source of my happiness, acquaintance or general society has always meant little to me, and I cannot quite understand why a man should wish to know more people than he can make real friends of.&#8221;
-C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy

		<title>My Valentines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Truly I am blessed. I&#8217;m in awe of my three valentines&#8230;my husband and my two boys. I have received so much love&#8211; by way of affection, poetic words, service, teaching, sacrifice, even drawings&#8211;from my husband that my heart can barely hold it. And I was overcome, overwhelmed by my oldest son&#8217;s affection to me today.

		<title>Joy as described by C.S. Lewis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It is that of an unsatisfied desire which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction. I call it Joy, which is here a technical term and must be sharply distinguished both from Happiness and from Pleasure. Joy (in my sense) has indeed one characteristic, and one only, in common with them; that fact that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=somethingorrother.wordpress.com&blog=3413109&post=114&subd=somethingorrother&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
