Her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises which I myself did not understand
This is very Dante's Beatrice for me, with this intensely spiritual connection the narrator has with a woman he's barely spoken with. It's strange because while there's this connection to the deep tradition of classical romance, but at the same time, and this is definitely informed by my modern perspective but I think the ending backs it up, this is a young pubescent boy having a crush on his neighbor because she's hot. Are these concepts incompatible, can part of that idealistic love exist in this moment, or is this school boy trying to explain away his crush using a connection to this deep literary tradition he's probably learning about in school?

The problem with thinking big is that it produces a laundry list of actions that are too heroic for you to actually take on.
This can be a driving force, to be fair.

Liberals are always slow to realize that there can be friendly, idealistic people who have little use for liberal values.
So idealistic with other values?

Now onto the second half of this concept, Self-Assurance, this one involves more belief challenging, and trips a lot of people up as it uses the past, which we fought so hard to accept.
