How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life,
when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes

of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life
would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making
your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.

If you see a whole thing - it seems that it's always beautiful. Planets, lives.... But close up a world's all dirt and rocks.
And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I
have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim
more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer
imaginary ones.
You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I

The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life
