If a person gave away your body to some passerby, you’d be furious. Yet you hand over your mind to anyone who comes along, so they may abuse you, leaving it disturbed and troubled—have you no shame in that?
If you wish to improve, be content to appear clueless or stupid in extraneous matters - don’t wish to seem knowledgeable. And if some regard you as important, distrust yourself.
Reading Augustine's Enchiridion (1/3 through) and I'm so far finding him to be basically right, but not exactly right. His definition of evil, for example, is close i think, close enough to mostly work, but it's like he regards 'good' as an imbued quality in and of itself that is gifted, but isolated somehow from God. Specifically, he defines evil as a privation, or falling away, from 'good,' which, again, is basically right, but 'good' is particularly relative to God Himself. The falling away is not from a quality called 'good,' it's a falling away from the Lord. It's the Lord's design, the Lord's reflected glory, the relation specifically to the Lord that makes 'good' good. It may seem like a distinction without a difference, but I think it matters.
Maybe I've misinterpreted him, or maybe it's unfair to grade early Christian thought with so much hindsight.
The original work expands this idea in a surprisingly practical way.
