Too Dei

Many an intelligent creature, after being persuaded by performance on exams or oratories, ceases to expand his mind and begins believing it has reached its potential.

It is at this point that, like a star reaching the excess of itself, the man collapses upon his own ideas and theories. The resulting supernova is persistent on covering the entire world, and everyone in it, with his imagined potential. One of my old professors would, I think, call these persons the, “Flightless birds of academia”; I will call them the exploding consequences of pride falling upon itself.

It is not surprising that these people wish to use their theories to disprove God, because it is God who constantly reminds them that there is a bigger star; a Son, who, like a black hole of Truth behind a meandering meteor, reminds them of their personal insignificance.

I knew I should have checked in sooner!

No matter, though, as we talked about this a bit on Wednesday.

"Flightless birds of the academy" is apt. But, I am thinking of the 'ol Turkey Buzzard, too. He can fly, sure, but he's also highly susceptible to disease, he rarely flaps his long smelly wings (lazy?) and, more significantly, he keeps his gaze focused firmly on the ground, not the heavens, looking for something dead to stick his face into.

And he tends to run with the pack, too.
