The Good Things of Life

CORDON V. COMER

"Material things are short-lived. It is the ideas of which
the things hint that live on"

Nevertheless, people yearn for what they think of as good. But do they think seriously about what the good things are? If they are asked what good things they want, what would they say? Would they be more inclined to the things themselves rather than to the good to which the things can only point? Material things are short-lived. It is the ideas of which the things hint that live on. Reality is eternal.
