Sadness and Being Alive

July 4, 2012

Needles Near a Haystack

When the master sees that the warrior is depressed, he says:
“You are not what you seem to be in these moments of sadness. You are better than that.
Many have left – for reasons we will never understand – but you are still here. Why did God carry off all those amazing people and leave you?
By now, millions of people will have given up. They don’t get angry, they don’t weep, they don’t do anything; they merely wait for time to pass. They have lost the ability to react.
You, however, are sad. That proves that your soul is still alive.”

From “Manual of the Warrior of Light” by P. Coelho

Keep pressing on people!
