Still it is not to be supposed that it was as easy for this science to strike into , or rather to construct for itself , that royal road , as it was for logic , in which reason has only to deal with itself . One manner in which utility computing may differ from a public utility is with respect to service exclusivity . Of all these , the Belgae are the bravest , because they are furthest from the civilization and refinement of [ our ] Province , and merchants least frequently resort to them , and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind ; and they are the nearest to the Germans , who dwell beyond the Rhine , with whom they are continually waging war ; for which reason the Helvetii also surpass the rest of the Gauls in valor , as they contend with the Germans in almost daily battles , when they either repel them from their own territories , or themselves wage war on their frontiers . But as in all the attempts hitherto made to answer the questions which reason is prompted by its very nature to propose to itself , for example , whether the world had a beginning , or has existed from eternity , it has always met with unavoidable contradictions , we must not rest satisfied with the mere natural disposition of the mind to metaphysics , that is , with the existence of the faculty of pure reason , whence , indeed , some sort of metaphysical system always arises ; but it must be possible to arrive at certainty in regard to the question whether we know or do not know the things of which metaphysics treats . " The above case history is certainly not an uncommon one , but it is an example of a situation in which family therapy can be of benefit to the individual child and to the entire family . From these circumstances it resulted , that they could range less widely , and could less easily make war upon their neighbors ; for which reason men fond of war [ as they were ] were affected with great regret . A day in the life of the average Iraqi has been reduced to identifying corpses , avoiding car bombs and attempting to keep track of which family members have been detained , which ones have been exiled and which ones have been abducted . Nor certainly shall I try to weave a tale of God 's miracles and signs , although we have not only heard of many such among our elders , and those past belief , but have also seen them fulfilled under our very eyes ; yet , leaving out all these things which minister to the reader nothing but astonishment and no instruction in the perfect life , I shall try , so far as I can , with the help of God , faithfully to explain only their institutions and the rules of their monasteries , and especially the origin and causes of the principal faults , of which they reckon eight , and the remedies for them according to their traditions , - - since my purpose is to say a few words not about God 's miracles , but about the way to improve our character , and the attainment of the perfect life , in accordance with that which we received from our elders . I have not returned an evasive answer to the questions of reason , by alleging the inability and limitation of the faculties of the mind ; I have , on the contrary , examined them completely in the light of principles , and , after having discovered the cause of the doubts and contradictions into which reason fell , have solved them to its perfect satisfaction .
