The one, to carry heavy loads like cedar logs and beams of steel and now and then the careful transfer of an injured friend to a bed of safety. The other purpose I consider superior, and that is to be, in all circumstances and forever, your headrest and cry pillow whereupon you may leave your heaviest burdens.","author":"Richelle E.

In all parts of our globe, fanatics have cut each other's throats, publicly burnt each other, committed without a scruple and even as a duty, the greatest crimes, and shed torrents of blood . . . Savage and furious nations, perpetually at war, adore, under divers names, some God, conformable to their ideas, that is to say, cruel, carnivorous, selfish, blood-thirsty. We find, in all the religions, 'a God of armies,' a 'jealous God,' an 'avenging God,' a 'destroying God,' a 'God,' who is pleased with carnage, and whom his worshippers consider it a duty to serve. Lambs, bulls, children, men, and women, are sacrificed to him. Zealous servants of this barbarous God think themselves obliged even to offer up themselves as a sacrifice to him. Madmen may everywhere be seen, who, after meditating upon their terrible God, imagine that to please him they must inflict on themselves, the most exquisite torments. The gloomy ideas formed of the deity, far from consoling them, have every where disquieted their minds, and prejudiced follies destructive to happiness.","author":"Paul Henri Thiry d'Holbach","tags":["atheism","blood","carnage","consoling","crime","cruel","death","deity","divine","fanatics","god","gods","happiness","jealous","killing","massacre","meditating","monotheism","murder","polytheism","religion","sacrifice","savage","selfish","war"],"id":83903,"author_id":"Paul+Henri+Thiry+d%27Holbach"},{"text":"Some of the people we feel sorry for feel sorry for us for thinking that they are the ones who should be felt sorry for.","author":"Mokokoma Mokhonoana","tags":["compassionate","concerned","consoling","despondent","disheartened","distressed","downcast","downhearted","empathetic","feel","full-of-pity","grief-stricken","heartbroken","humor","humour","impression","inconsolable","moved","people","sad","satire","sorrowful","sorry","sympathetic","unhappy","unsympathetic","upset"],"id":109503,"author_id":"Mokokoma+Mokhonoana"},{"text":"After a spent day, Iwalked back in a fever.The whole way homethe sun touched my cheeks.The blissful evening glowspread across the meadowsand I called this lightthe blood I shed.My hot burning blood layconsoling the entire world.So I walked with pride--Now that all was tilled.I didn't know what was happening,I leaned against a fence post,in my blood that coveredthe meadows near and far.","author":"Robert Walser","tags":["blood","closing-time","consoling","home","light","sun"],"id":258154,"author_id":"Robert+Walser"},{"text":"Nothing consoles and comforts like certainty does.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["assurance","business","business","certain","certainly","certainties","certainty","client","client","clients","comfort","comfortable","comforts","consolation","consolatory","console","consoling","corporate","corporate","customer","customer-care","customer-satisfaction","customer-service","customers","inspiration","inspirational","inspirational","joy","management","motivation","motivational","motivational","surety"],"id":401364,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":6,"pages":1}}
