Correspondingly, active change and becoming of finite things (at least in certain particular but quite normal and natural forms) will appear not only as the active asymptotic approach to what is higher
than themselves through active self -
fulfillment of their own
natures, but also as an active transcending of their own
natures, whereby an existent itself by its own activity (which itself implies that of God) actively moves beyond and above itself.
It is the
nature of wishes and their potential
fulfillment to travel faster
than anything shackled to earth, especially a rowboat straining against a current that all but groaned in its desire to blow into la pared de la muerte.
