The Church, Aristotle, and Solzhenitsyn

 What do those entities all have in common?  You can find it here, courtesy of AOSHQ:

“If as claimed by humanism, man were born only to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to death, his task on earth evidently must be more spiritual: not a total engrossment in everyday life, not a search for the best way to obtain material goods. . . . It has to be the fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one’s life’s journey may become above all an experience of moral growth: to leave life a better human being than one started it.

Some will succeed at that.

Many others will not.   

Pray that you're in the "succeed" category, among the sheep, not the goats.
