For centuries, John Milton's Paradise Lost has been considered one of the great works of literature that's ever been written, a Christian epic that wrestles with timeless questions about temptation, freedom, pride, and God's relationship with mankind. In one of its most famous lines, Satan declares, better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. It's a line that cuts to the heart of rebellion, and Milton's response to it is one of the most powerful in all of western literature that's why hillsdale college offers a free online course on paradise lost taught by real hillsdale professors paradise lost gets at something true about human nature the most modern writing won't touch milton understood that the root of every rebellion every act of pride every rejection of god traces back to the same lies satan tells himself in that line the poem carries 1500 years of western and christian thought and Most people have never read it.

People have a tendency to make healthy living far more complicated than it needs to be. They'll spend hours researching the perfect routine for working out, the perfect diet, the perfect morning and bedtime routine. And then they download apps, buy planners, watch endless videos about optimizing every minute of the day. But ultimately, life happens. The kids need to be somewhere, work gets busy, dinner. It doesn't go as planned. Before you know it, all those perfect plans disappear. I've found that the habits you actually keep are usually the simple ones.
