Catholics, Protestants, and the secular era have all had their inquisitions, their prosecution of heresy by different names and through different means but all have something they consider Holy and sacred. The Eucharist and authority of the church, sola scriptura, democracy, sodomites and blacks.

Different eras but the religious core of man never changes. Man must choose what is Holy for him and what is sacred. He will choose either God and his people or something much less dignifying.

“It was not easy to keep control of a fractious multilingual multicultural crew. Ethnic rifts ran throughout the ship, dividing officers and crew”

Imagine trying to keep control of a fractious multilingual multicultural empire where the differences are not slight, as among Europeans, but come from peoples and cultures much more different from each other than even the most disparate Europeans.

Very inspired story: A Year to Live. Part 1

Anthony Burgess was forty when he learned he had a brain tumor that would kill him within a year. He had no money at the time and nothing to bequeath to his soon-to-be widow, Lynne.

Burgess had never been a professional novelist in the past; but he was always aware that he had the talent to be a writer in him. So, just to be able to leave at least the copyrights to his wife, he put a piece of paper in the typewriter and began to write his first novel. It was not even certain that what he had written could be published; but he couldn’t think of anything else to do.

A year to live part2

“It was January 1960,” he said, “and according to the diagnosis, I had a winter, a spring, and a summer ahead of me. That year, when the leaves began to fall, I would have died too.” With that speed and haste, Burgess had managed to write five and a half novels before the year was out. E. M. Forster could only write so many in almost an entire lifetime; J. D. Salinger, one of America’s greatest writers, managed to write only half of it in his entire life.

However, Burgess did not die. His cancer first regressed; then it disappeared altogether. In his long and full life as a writer, he produced more than seventy works, most famously A Clockwork Orange. He might not have written even one of these novels had it not been for the death sentence that cancer had inflicted on him.

Most of us are like Anthony Burgess; we hide a great talent waiting for an emergency to emerge from within us.

A useful exercise in self-motivation is to ask yourself what you would do if you were in Anthony Burgess’s place and found out that you would die of cancer within a year… “What would change in my life, how would I live my last year if I had learned that I would only live one more year? ? What exactly would I do? Considering the brevity of life is a useful exercise; it often brings up surprising thoughts in your mind that will reveal your unused talents that have not yet surfaced
