Living was living. The price was guilt and shame.
Often in this book you have to think about the holocaust from the Jewish perspective and wonder about how the German people were OK with the Nazi policy and then wonder about the stuff we are OK with in America.
“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”

“Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself? Take those thoughts that come to you the moment you wake up in the morning. You have not originated them but they are talking to you, they bring back the problems of yesterday, etc. Somebody is talking. Who is talking to you? Your self is talking to you. Now this man’s treatment [in Psalm 42] was this: instead of allowing this self to talk to him, he starts talking to himself. “Why art thou cast down, O my soul?” he asks. His soul had been depressing him, crushing him. So he stands up and says, “Self, listen for moment, I will speak to you.”
