b: an unhealthy church culture

What: "He uses the example of how carbon monoxide is like an unhealthy church culture, that as it is unnoticed, can become deadly. While he creates a convincing argument regarding the hierarchy of culture over vision, we must consider that this is sort of a "chicken and egg" scenario.

a: sadness ~
b: the innermost depth of an ocean

What:

"Happiness is always shallow; sadness, always deep. Happiness is like a wave, sadness is like the innermost depth of an ocean. In sadness you remain with yourself, left alone.

Enjoy it. Taste it without any rejection, and you will see that it brings many gifts to you which no happiness can ever bring. "
