On the previous page I said that even our most mundane activities are relevant to the matter of right and wrong, to Jesus Christ, who is the very definition of right and wrong. To fail to make that commitment is to consign one's life to the lesser, to the wrong, and to the tragic.
Human beings are full of the lesser and the tragic.
Our basic failing, which is to count ourselves as the center of the universe, is a mistake of gigantic proportions. But, you say, most of what we do in any given day is so common that it cannot be linked to the ultimates. It is a mistake that most of us make. To pause and rest for a day in one's journey is fitting and necessary. But when the rest is attained, and no one proceeds again, the evil shows itself.
