Description

The Good LifeThe Dalai Lama once wrote that the object of human existence was to be happy. This sounds extremely glib as happiness in the popular imagination is a feeling and in the words of the song 'the greatest gift that we possess'. On the other hand, von Hugel wrote 'Religion has never made me happy; it's no use shutting your eyes to the fact that the deeper you go, the more alone you will find yourself' This small masterpiece by the late Fr Herbert McCabe of

The Dalai Lama once wrote that the object of human existence was to be happy. This sounds extremely glib as happiness in the popular imagination is a feeling and in the words of the song 'the greatest gift that we possess'. On the other hand, von Hugel wrote 'Religion has never made me happy;it's no use shutting your eyes to the fact that the deeper you go, the more alone you will find yourself' This small masterpiece by the late Fr Herbert McCabe of the Dominican order steers a steady courss between these two extremes. We feels instinctively that human beings are designed to enjoy themselves and to be happy and yet we are told that suffering is good for the soul. But in the Catholic tradition the true object of human existence is the vision of God and nothing less than this will ever make us truly happy. But Fr McCabe explores much deeper issues. Is Happiness a pleasure or a pain? You hardly know. Certainly it is not a comfort for comfort spells seciurity and hapiness can take you out of yourself to a degree where all secutiry is left behind. Behind a feeling of exultation, you can sense the flame of incandescent terror. This short book is entirely original and will further enhance McCabe's posthumous reputation.

Not Boerboel proof
I have a terrible time finding toys for my 10 month old Boerboel. Either she ignores it or tears it up immediately. She likes this toy (jumbo size) and actually chewed on it for 20 min. Bad side is she chewed a hole. It lasted longer than any of the other fairly chewy toys I've tried. She doesn't like the hard chews.

Favorite Toy
Size: Medium/Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My dog is a 3.5 yr old mix and this toy has been her favorite toy by far for three years. She likes it as a squeak toy, loves it as a tug toy and can't live without it as fetch toy. I roll it on its edge outside and she chases it - sometimes it take cool bounces or swerves and sometimes its just rolls straight and fast and whatever it does she can't get enough of it. She demands we play fetch with it at least three times a day. She's not a great releaser of fetch toys so there's plenty of tugging play involved too. We've had three of these over three years, but she's 75 pounds of muscle and it gets a work out every day so it's a really tough toy. All dogs are different, so I don't know what your dog will think, but it's been a fantastic toy for our girl.

So Bad
Size: Medium/Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Medium/Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Had high hopes for this toy as Kong is fantastic with aggressive chewers as or Lulu is. This toy didn't last 30 minutes before she was able to tear it apart. The rubber and plastic are not of the same quality on nearly all there other toys she has. Have found better toys for half the cost. Kong needs to do better.
