I ♥ Les Mis

This is what I saw while cuddling this morning.

Wonderful.

Makes me happy.

Minus Minnie's crazy eye. lol

I am reading Les Miserables, and I came across this passage last night.

"It can not be denied that one of virtue's phases ends in pride. Therein is a bridge by the Evil One. Jean Valjean was perhaps, without knowing it, near that very phase of virtue, and that very bridge... So long as he compared himself to only the bishop, he found himself unworthy and remained humble; but, for some time past, he had been comparing himself with the rest of men, and pride was springing up on him."

I have been thinking about this a lot. That while attempting to be more virtuous than the common man, the Devil creates a bridge that leads you into pride. But, as long as Valjean compares himself to the bishop (who performed the most Godly act toward Valjean that he had ever experienced,) or for us, comparing ourselves only to God, he remains humble, and therefore virtuous.

I love this. I plan on considering this more.

Jamie had a rough day, so we went to Hirosake, a japanese steakhouse in Avon. They have a special Sun-Thurs, two dinners for $20.

I think he felt better after. =)

But now he is at work, so I am going to make air-popped popcorn and watch Sense and Sensibility. What a lame life I lead.
