Through metaphors, we see the world as one thing or another.","author":"Neil Postman","tags":["metaphor","perception","words","worldview"],"id":22627,"author_id":"Neil+Postman"},{"text":"The best way to destroy your enemies is to make them adopt your worldview.","author":"Bangambiki Habyarimana","tags":["destroy","enemies","enemies-and-friends","enemies-and-opposition","enemies-and-tolerance","enemies-to-lovers","enemies-trap","enemy-of-the-state","enemy","foe","worldview"],"id":24393,"author_id":"Bangambiki+Habyarimana"},{"text":"In any case, you can't have effective allegory in times when people are swept this way and that by momentary convictions, because everyone will read it differently. You can't indicate moral values when morality changes with what is being done, because there is no accepted basis of judgment. And you cannot show the operation of grace when grace is cut off from nature or when the very possibility of grace is denied, because no one will have the least idea of what you are about.","author":"Flannery O'Connor","tags":["allegorical-interpretation","allegory","grace","moral-values","morality","perception","world-view","worldview","writing","writing-craft","writing-fiction"],"id":27464,"author_id":"Flannery+O%27Connor"},{"text":"We cannot take on anger toward these professors. They are ensnared in a faulty worldview…Let us not blame the world for being the world…We can respond by pulling up stakes and retreating further into our sub-culture or we can be the harbingers of freedom to the captives. Our focus is to be on restoring rather than retreating.","author":"Karla Perry","tags":["america","christian","education","restoration","subculture","worldview"],"id":35247,"author_id":"Karla+Perry"},{"text":"You can spot people who don't know Jesus very well because the world they see is always so ugly. Even if they use all sorts of religious language, don't be misled—people who get touched by Jesus don't ignore the hurt and pain in the world, and yet they see so much beauty in it.","author":"Jonathan Martin","tags":["jesus","worldview"],"id":41197,"author_id":"Jonathan+Martin"},{"text":"It seems that rather than abandon their worldview, many young people are abandoning their lives altogether. I am disturbed to see the number of suicides and suicide attempts by those between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five. Many of their suicide notes report they had lost meaning, purpose and a sense that life held any value.This is no longer just about philosophy. This is about the very real lives we are all trying to make sense of here on Earth.","author":"Jon Morrison","tags":["apologetics","meaning","meaning-of-life","philosophy","purpose","purpose-of-living","worldview"],"id":42545,"author_id":"Jon+Morrison"},{"text":"For an entire wing of the G.O.P., a dysfunctional government, whose only visible activity is mismanaging crises, is not an embarrassment but the vindication of a worldview.","author":"Amy Davidson","tags":["dysfunction","government","political-parties","politics","republicans","u-s-politics","worldview"],"id":51021,"author_id":"Amy+Davidson"},{"text":"That is the problem with our world.
