Things Rarely Met With: Patience, Unworldliness, Resignation, Meekness, Humility, The Love Of Enemie

Things Rarely Met With: Patience, Unworldliness, Resignation, Meekness, Humility, The Love Of Enemies is a book written by James Erasmus Philipps in 1867. The book is a collection of essays that explore six virtues that are often undervalued and rarely practiced in modern society. The first virtue explored in the book is patience, which is defined as the ability to endure difficult situations without getting angry or frustrated. The second virtue is unworldliness, which refers to the ability to detach oneself from material possessions and worldly desires. Resignation, the third virtue, is the ability to accept and submit to the will of God or fate. The fourth virtue explored in the book is meekness, which is often misunderstood as weakness, but is actually the ability to remain calm and gentle in the face of adversity. Humility, the fifth virtue, is the ability to recognize one's own limitations and weaknesses and to be modest and unassuming. Finally, the book explores the virtue of the love of enemies, which is the ability to forgive and show compassion to those who have wronged us. Through a series of insightful essays, Philipps encourages readers to cultivate these virtues in their own lives, arguing that they are essential for personal growth and spiritual development. The book is a thought-provoking and inspiring read that challenges readers to reconsider their values and priorities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
