In A Forest Of A Hundred Thousand

Intense, Unexpected Suffering Passes More Quickly Than Suffering That Is Apparently Bearable; The Latter Goes On For Years And, Without Our Noticing, Eats Away At Our Souls, Until, One Day, We Are No Longer Able To Free Ourselves From The Bitterness And It Stays With Us For The Rest Of Our Lives.

Love Fills Everything. It Cannot Be Desired Because It Is An End In Itself. It Cannot Betray Because It Has Nothing To Do With Possession. It Cannot Be Held Prisoner Because It Is A River And Will Overflow Its Banks. Anyone Who Tries To Imprison Love Will Cut Off The Spring That Feeds It, And The Trapped Water Will Grow Stagnant.

If You Start By Promising What You Don't Even Have Yet, You'll Lose Your Desire To Work Towards Getting It.

Only Children Believe They're Capable Of Everything. They're Trusting And Fearless; They Believe In Their Own Power And Get Exactly What They Want. When Children Grow Up, They Start To Realize That They're Not As Powerful As They Thought And That They Need Other People In Order Survive. Then The Child Begins To Love And To Hope His Love Will Be Requited; And As Life Goes On, He Develops An Ever-greater Need To Be Loved In Return, Even If That Means Having To Give Up His Power. We All End Up Where We Are Now: Grown-ups Doing Everything We Can To Be Accepted And Loved.

Everything Is Possible, From Angels To Demons To Economists And Politicians.
