eternal vocation
I do not know whether it is true that at each man’s birth two angels are born, his good and his bad angel. But this I do believe that at each man’s birth there comes into being an eternal vocation for him, expressly for him. To be true to himself in relation to this eternal vocation is the highest thing a man can practice, and, as that most profound poet has said: “Self-love is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting.” Then there is but one fault, one offense: disloyalty to his own self or the denial of his own better self.
