Someone gave me this glass, and I really like this glass. It holds my water admirably and it glistens in the sunlight. I touch it and it rings! One day the wind may blow it off the shelf, or my elbow may knock it from the table. I know this glass is already broken, so I enjoy it incredibly. ↗

I believe in humanity - not just you or Mother, but all mankind. Do I sound like a preacher or a cheap politician making a pretty speech? This is not what I intend to do... I believe in life, that it is sweet and that, for all its occasional bitterness, we-man, that is-are headed toward something better - fulfillment. There is much shame, however, and so much hypocrisy around us and these inhibit our fulfillment as human beings. ↗

Ajarlah jiwamu untuk terbang tinggi, nescaya ia benci sesuatu yang remeh. Ajarlah jiwamu erti kemuliaan agar ia benci kehinaan. Berilah peluang jiwamu merasai kelazatan rohani yang agung, nescaya ia bencikan kelazatan kecil yang sementara.. ↗
