Sykes, Gerald | June 16, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses sacramental attitude of life. The sacramental attitude is the capacity to enjoy the routine incidents of daily life and to turn them into ceremony. It creates individuals who demand too much from their tenure on earth. It is the exclusive property of no faith and no nation that can be achieved by only a few people. The article views that many people come to Paris, France because they believe that it might help them to achieve this attitude, but they have not yet learned that survival in today's power struggle demands strict curtailment of all natural joys and attitudes like sacramental life style are destined to destroy themselves.
