You hopeless, egregious Boy! You are patently unworthy of all the philosophical considerations I have lavished upon you! Political liberty by itself is, in fact, always illusory. A mortal who lies in economic subjection six days, if not seven, a week, does not become free merely by making a cross on a ballot-paper once in five years. If freedom is to mean anything to the average mortal it must include industrial freedom. Until mortals at their work can know themselves members of a self-governing community of workers, they will remain essentially servile, whatever the political system under which they live. It is not enough to sweep away the degrading relation in which the wage-slave stands to an individual employer. When workers are left in bondage to a tyranny that is galling because it is impersonal, work is not as active, responsible, attractive, partial, and meaningful as it could be. Mortals are in chains everywhere because the disease of civilization is not so much material poverty of many as the decay of the spirit of freedom and self-confidence. The revolt that will change the World will spring, not from the benevolence that breeds reform, but from the will to be free. Mortals will act together in the full consciousness of their mutual dependence; but they will act for themselves. Their liberty will not be given them from above; they will take it on their own behalf. #RandolphHarris 1 of 15

Just voting for someone because they the first of their kind to make it in a field may not be freedom, it could be another form of bondage. What matters most is an individual’s mind set. We must put our appeal to the public not in the questions, “Is it not unpleasant to be poor, and will you not help to raise the poor?” but in this form: “Poverty is but a sign of mortal’s enslavement: to cure it you must cease to labour for others and must believe in yourself.” Wage-slavery will exit as long as there is a mortal or an institution that is the master of mortals: it will be ended when the works learn to set freedom before comfort. The average person will become one who seeks freedom not in order to secure a minimum standard of civilized life, but because they feel ashamed of the slavery that blinds them and their fellows, and because one is resolved to end the practices that make them slaves. We must find our soul and figure out what it wants to express and do things that we love to provide for ourselves and our families. And we must become the accredited agents of the community in the economic sphere. Recently, at 31 years of age, Andy Murray announced that he was in pain. His hip has been causing him profound physical discomfort for some time and it is no secret. He has been in a lot of pain for about two years, and has done everything he can do to feel better. #RandolphHarris 2 of 15

Andy Murray is a very successful tennis player, and he has many great achievements such as winning the Grand Slam singles tournament at the 2012 US Open. On 7 July 2013, Andy Murray won the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. Andy Murray was also the only man in history to win an Olympic Gold and US Open in the same calendar year, as well as the third man to hold the Gold Medal and two majors on different surfaces. He is also the very first tennis player and only man in its history to have won two Olympics Gold Medals in the singles category and on two different surfaces (grass in 2012, and hard in 2016), making a consecutive Olympics singles Gold Medal final in Rio 2016 and defending his title by defeating Juan Martin del Potro in the Gold Medal singles final. Subsequent to his success at the Olympic and Wimbledon in 2013, Andy Murray was voted the 2013 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. In summary, he is a very successfully young man, loves what he does for a living and is highly decorated. However, Andy Murray has played through the pain much of his 14-year career. It is hard for him to remember a time when playing tennis had been pain free. He was born with bipartite patella, a split kneecap, that was first diagnosed at the age of 16. #RandolphHarris 3 of 15

Andy Murray certainly pushed his body to the limit, as he had recurring problems whit his ankles and back. He tried various treatments, from strengthening the muscles around the joint to daily sessions with a portable ultrasound, but it was always containment not cure. The pain was part of his life. And trying so hard to thrive and continue doing what he loves, Andy Murray cried when he announced 11 January 2019 that he has to retire because he is in too much pain. However, it a great that Andy had a chance to live his dreams, make money, and get endorsements before he retires, so he has something to live off of. There are some people who get injured before they start their careers, and cannot work, but keep doing what they can, in hopes that someday they will find something they can do, make money and retired. Working everyday in extreme pain is not a good thing. This is why it is important for us to have faith. Faith is an act of human personality, as its centered and total act. An act of faith is an act of a finite being who is grasped by and turned to the infinite. It is a specific act with all the limitations of a mortal act, and it is an act in which the infinite participates beyond the limitations of calculable constrains. Faith is certain in so far as it is an experience of the holy. However, faith is uncertain in so far as the infinite to which it is related is received by a mortal. #RandolphHarris 4 of 15

This element of uncertainty in faith cannot be removed, it must be accepted. And the element in faith which accepts this is courage. Faith includes an element of immediate awareness which gives certainty and an element of uncertainty. To accept this is courage. In the courageous standing of uncertainty, faith shows must visibly its dynamic character. We have to interpret present and past events impinging on human life in our growing World Age and World consciousness and envisage what mortals may yet attain when summoned by an unbending inner necessity to the quest of what is most exalted in one. The purpose of faith is to offer new vistas in terms of World and human development while refusing to betray the intimate correlation between universality and individuality, dynamics and form, freedom and destiny. We come to understand that spirit and nature are not separate and apart; intuition and reason must regain their convergence as the means of perceiving and fusing inner being with outer reality. Anxiety, the other characteristic of modern mortals, is even more basic than emptiness and loneliness. For being hollow and lonely would not bother us except that it makes us prey to that peculiar psychological pain and turmoil called anxiety. No one who reads the morning newspaper needs to be persuaded that we live in an age of anxiety. We have had two World wars in modern history, economic upheavals and depressions, and it shows that the foundations of our World are shaken. #RandolphHarris 5 of 15

We have become so injured to living in a state of quasi-anxiety that our real danger is the temptation to hide our eyes in ostrich fashion. However, it is by imagination and understanding that we can face these upheavals openly, and see if, by courage and insight, we can use this anxiety constructively. It is a mistake to believe that the contemporary wars and depressions and government shutdowns and political threats are the total cause of our anxiety, for our anxiety also cases these catastrophes. The anxiety prevalent in our day and the succession of economic and political catastrophes our World has been going through are both symptoms of the same underlying cause, namely traumatic changes occurring in Western society. Fascist and Nazi totalitarianism, for example, do not occur because a Hitler or Mussolini decides to seize power. When a nation, rather, is prey to insupportable and economic want and is psychologically and spiritually empty, totalitarianism comes in to fill the vacuum: and the people sell their freedom as a necessity for getting rid of the anxiety which is too great for them to bear any longer. The confusion and bewilderment in our nation show this anxiety on a broad scale. In this period of wars and threats of wars, we know what we are against, namely, totalitarian encroachment of mortal’s freedom and dignity. #RandolphHarris 6 of 15

We are confident enough of our military strength, but we fight defensively, but other nations believe we are not sure if we waiting for things to go wrong or looking for solutions. We are confused about constructive goals—what are we working for? America seems to have become betwixted about the gestures of new agendas which give magnificent promise for a New World. When an individual suffers anxiety continuously over a period of time, one lays one’s body open to psychosomatic illness. When a group suffers continuous anxiety, with no agreed-on constructive steps to take, its members sooner or later turn against each other. Just so, when our nation is in confusion and bewilderment, we lay ourselves open to such poison as witch hunts, and the ubiquitous pressures to make every person suspicious of one’s neighbor. Turning our glance from the society to the individual, we see the most obvious expressions of anxiety in the prevalence of neurosis and other emotional disturbances—which, as practically every from Dr. Freud onward has agreed, have their root cause in anxiety and guilt about the past. People feel guilty because of the ways that they have treated others, so they bend the rules and break laws for certain protected classes of people to amend for their sins, even though it may not be the most rational thing to do and could put innocent lives in danger. #RandolphHarris 7 of 15

Anxiety likewise, is paranoia about the future, and the World might view others when they are perceived as being unjust for not allowing certain people to break the law in the name of humanity, but there is also a level of propaganda about why so many people are becoming so welcoming and humanistic all of the sudden. For some, it is about staying in power and totalitarianism. Some people think there is no point to negotiating, others think we need to hurry up and reach a resolution. Nevertheless, the impasse results in Anxiety. Anxiety is the common denominator psychologically of the psychosomatic disturbances—such as ulcers, many of the form of the great white plague—the greatest destroyer of human health and well-being. When we look below the surface of our individual anxiety, we find that it also comes from something more profound than the threat of war and economic uncertainty. We are anxious because we do not know what roles to pursue, what principles for action to believe in. Our individual anxiety, somewhat like that of the nation, is a basic confusion and bewilderment about where we are going. #RandolphHarris 8 of 15

Shall a mortal strive competitively to become economically successful and wealthy, as we used to be taught, or a good fellow who is liked by everyone? One cannot be both. Shall one follow the supposed teaching of the society with regard to pleasures of the flesh and be monogamous, or should one follow the average of what is done. Some people in typical communities are caught in a chaos of conflicting patterns, none of them wholly condemned, but no one of them clearly approved and free from confusion. That confusion has now gone deeper to the levels of feelings and desires. In such a bewilderment many persons experience the inward gnawing apprehension of the young man in Auden’s poem, The Age of Anxiety: “It is getting late. Shall we ever be asked for? Are we simply not wanted at all?” If anyone believes there are simple answers to these questions, one has neither understood the questions nor the times in which we live. This is a time when a whole generation is caught between two ages, two modes of life, with the consequences that it loses all power to understand itself and has no standards, no security, no simple acquiescence. However, it is well to remind ourselves that anxiety signifies a conflict, and so long as a conflict is going on, a constructive solution is possible. Indeed, our present upsets are as much a proof of new possibilities for the future. #RandolphHarris 9 of 15

What is necessary for the constructive use of anxiety is, first of all, that we frankly admit and face our perilous state, individually and socially. Both men and women need a self-assertion to bridge their separateness and to achieve union with each other and the World. Otherwise, the way we have amputated significant aspects of reality in overcultivation of power and control, we run the risk of losing exactly what we set out to gain. A curious thing which never fails to surprise persons in therapy is that after admitting their anger, animosity, and even hatred for society and berating people during the hour, they end up with feelings of love toward their peers and their community. A patient may have come in smoldering with negative feelings but resolved, partly unconsciously, to keep these, as a good gentleman or lady does, to oneself; but one finds that one represses the love for humanity at the same time as one suppresses their aggression. This is called the inclusion of the negative—which is essential if the beneficial is likewise to come out. What is occurring here is more than the fact that human consciousness works in polarity: the beneficial cannot come out until the negative does also. This is why in analysis, the negative is analyzed, with the hope—which becomes true often enough to justify the rule—that the beneficial will then able to come into its own. This is the constructive use value in facing and admitting of the World soul. #RandolphHarris 10 of 15

We recall that within our soul, we have the ability not simply to love, but also to hate. It has to do with an energizing, a shocking of our normal existence—it is a gadfly that keeps us forever awake; the soul is the breathless peace. Hate and love are not polar opposites; they go together, particularly in transitional ages like ours. We often see the drama on the streets of people who are communicating and it is clear, even if they are peaceful, they are uncomfortable and it is obvious in their nervous laughter or their hesitancy; not-knowing-whether-to-laugh; but that they are deeply affected by communication with community members is more obvious. This power comes from the soul wishes, thoughts, and feelings which go on in every person but are almost always denied in our bourgeois society. What bewitches us is that people often do not truly express how they feel because they are worried about impression management. Most human beings have some level of love for each other beneath the emotional savagery, but they are afraid of it and afraid of their own tenderness. To be able to experience and live out capacities for tender love requires the confronting of the soul. It is our goal to will something with each other. We can will because in the process of the struggles we all face, we learn to end our illusions, and that really strikes a chord with people in civilized societies. #RandolphHarris 11 of 15

It is clear that our soul lives in the subconscious and unconscious. One of the reasons that we have been able to rise to our unsurpassed height as a civilization is our courage and openness in facing the desires and dreams of our soul. We are glorified in passion and love. We have been able to achieve our belief that the essence of virtue for a mortal is that we responsibly choose our passions rather than being chosen by them. World perspectives endeavors to show that the conception of wholeness, unity, organism is a higher and more concrete conception that that of matter and energy. Thus an enlarged meaning of life, of biology, not as it is revealed in the test tube of a laboratory but as it is experienced within the organism of life itself, presents courage as an element of faith. This faith is the daring self-affirmation of one’s own being in spite of the powers of nonbeing which are the heritage of everything finite. Where there is daring and courage there is the possibility of failure. And in every act of faith this possibility is present. The risk must be taken. Whoever makes one’s nation one’s ultimate concern needs courage in order to maintain this concern. Only certain is the ultimacy as ultimacy, the infinite passion as infinite passion. This is a reality given to the self with one’s own nature. It is as immediate and as much beyond doubt as the self is to the self. It is the self in its self-transcending quality. #RandolphHarris 12 of 15

The principle of life consists in the tension which connects spirit with the realm of matter, symbiotically joined. The element of life is dominant in the very texture of nature, thus rendering life, biology, a transempirical science. The laws of life have their origin beyond their mere physical manifestations and compel us to consider their spiritual source. In fact, the widening of the conceptual framework has not only served to restore order within the respective branches of knowledge, but has also disclosed analogies in mortal’s position regarding the analysis and synthesis of experience in apparently separated domains of knowledge, suggesting the possibility of an ever more embracing objective description of the meaning of life. The risk to faith in one’s ultimate concern is indeed the greatest risk mortals can run. For if it proves to be a failure, the meaning of one’s life breaks down; one surrenders oneself, including truth and justice, to something which is not worth it. And that is why young people cry when they are forced to retire early from injuries, or why people get upset when they are striving to be a success and working through tremendous pain and never seem to make it. One has given away one’s person center without having a chance to regain it. The reaction of despair in people who have experienced the breakdown of their national claims is irrefutable proof of the idolatrous character of their national concern. #RandolphHarris 13 of 15

In the long run this is the inescapable result of an ultimate concern, the subject matter of which is not ultimate. And this is the risk faith must take; this is the risk which is unavoidable if a finite being affirms itself. However, it is risk and demands courage if it affirms a concrete concern. And every faith has a concrete element in itself. It is concerned about something or somebody. However, this something or this somebody may prove to be not ultimate at all. Then faith is a failure in its concrete expression, although it is not a failure in the experience of the unconditional itself. A god disappears; divinity remains. Faith risks the vanishing of the concrete god in whom it believes. It may well be that with the vanishing of the god the believer breaks down without being able to re-establish one centered self by a new content of one’s ultimate concern. This risk cannot be taken away from any act of faith. There is only one point which is a matter not of risk but of immediate certainty and herein lies the greatness and the pain of being human; namely, one’s standing between one’s finitude and one’s potential infinity. Knowledge no longer consist in a manipulation of mortals and nature as opposite forces, not in the reduction of data to mere statistical order, but is a means of liberating humankind from the destructive power of fear, pointing the way toward the goal of the rehabilitation of the human will and the rebirth of faith and confidence in the human person. #RandolphHarris 14 of 15

The cry for patterns, systems and authorities is growing less insistent as the desire grows stronger in both East and West for the recovery of a dignity, integrity and self-realization which are the inalienable rights of mortals who may now guide change by means of conscious propose in the light of rational experience. May a loving Father in Heaven bless us tomorrow to remember how we felt today, and bless us to strive with patience and persistence toward the ideals we have heard proclaimed about his knowing and divine love and unfailing help to be with us even when we struggle—no, especially when we struggle. Ultimately, we know that every physical ailment, malady, or imperfection will be healed in the Resurrection. However, Jesus Christ can heal more than just our physical bodies. He can heal our spirits as well. Throughout scripture we learn how Christ helped those whose spirits were weak and made them whole. As we ponder these experiences, our hope and faith in the Savior’s power to bless our lives increase. Jesus Christ can change our hearts, heal us from the effects of injustice or abuse we may experience, and strengthen our capacity to bear loss and heartaches, bringing us peace to help us endure the trials of our lives, healing us emotionally. “And again I say unto you, is there one among you that doth make a mock of one’s brother, or that heaps upon one persecutions? Wo unto such an one, for one is not prepared, and the time is at hand that one must repent or one cannot be saved,” reports Alma 5.30-31. #RandolphHarris 15 of 15
