Contentment
|
There is a sense in which a man looking at the present in the light of the future, and taking his whole being into account, may be contented with his lot: that is Christian contentment. - But if a man has come to that point where he is so content that he says, "I do not want to know any more, or do any more, or be any more," he is in a state in which he ought to be changed into a mummy! - Of all hideous things a mummy is the most hideous; and of mummies, the most hideous are those that are running about the streets and talking.
