It has been said that the great things in life are exactly what they seem to be. Such simplicity can be difficult to understand. I have had many visions that I could not interpret, visions meant to be passed to a greater soul. I am but a thread in the fabric. Nevertheless, I do know this: even the finest and most self-sacrificing actions must be paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them so fine. --Seer Narda Chayton WOLF REVENGE ↗

يعتقد المرء أن توأم الروح هو الشخص الأنسب له ، وهذا مايريده الجميع . ولكن توأم الروح الحقيقي ليس سوى مرآه ، إنه الشخص الذي يريك كل مايعيقك ، الشخص الذي يلفت انتباهك إلى نفسك لكي تغيري حياتك ، توأم الروح الحقيقي هو أهم شخص تلتقين به على الأرجح ، لانه يمزق جدرانك ويهزك بقوه لكي تستفيقي ↗

Any do-gooder can save one life or a dozen by spending x dollars, but that doesn't demonstrate anything unless you've got x dollars multiplied by the total number of lives that need saving. Stopping poverty one victim at a time is like mowing a lawn one blade at a time. The problem grows faster than the cure can be applied, the only people who profit are the agencies who claim to be cutting grass while they're actually applying fertilizer. ↗

In spite of his mildness and timidity in reproving, every one about him knew that on the exceptional occasions when he chose, he was absolute. He never, indeed, chose to be absolute except on some one else’s behalf. ↗

#selflessness #life

Pasmo sempre quando acabo qualquer coisa. Pasmo e desolo-me. O meu instinto de perfeição deveria inibir-me de acabar; deveria inibir-me até de dar começo. Mas distraio-me e faço. O que consigo é um produto, em mim, não de uma aplicação de vontade, mas de uma cedência dela. Começo porque não tenho força para pensar; acabo porque não tenho alma para suspender. Este livro é a minha cobardia. ↗

— Fernando Pessoa

We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart. ↗
