The past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every
person
in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.

person
and who keeps on trying, despite repeated rejections.

The great problem with poisoning by Bitterness was that the passions — hatred, love, despair, enthusiasm, curiosity — also ceased to manifest themselves. After a while, the embittered
person
felt no desire at all. They lacked the will either to live or to die, that was the problem.

The mere possibility of getting what we want fills the soul of the ordinary
person
with guilt. We look around at all those who have failed to get what they want and feel that we do not deserve to get what we want either. We forget about all the obstacles we overcame, all the suffering we endured, all the things we had to give up in order to get this far...

She said she was neither happy nor unhappy, and that was why she couldn't go on. Each
person
knows the extent of their own suffering, or the total absence of meaning in their lives.

Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another
person
. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.

All religions lead to the same God, and all deserve the same respect. Anyone who chooses a religion is also choosing a collective way for worshipping and sharing the mysteries. Nevertheless, that
person
is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any personal decisions on to that religion.

You want to know if the heart of a man or a woman can contain enough love for more than one
person
? … I think it's perfectly possible as long as one of those people doesn't turn into … a Zahir.

Because we managed to keep our heart open, despite the pain. Because we realized that the
person
who left us did not take the sun with them or leave darkness in their place.

But something always went wrong, and the relationship would end precisely at the moment when she was sure that this was the
person
with whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life. After a long time, she came to the conclusion that men brought only pain, frustration, suffering and a sense of time dragging.

When we both experienced the love that consumes, we shared in the Absolute. The Absolute shows each of us who we really are; it is an enormous web of cause and effect, where every small gesture made by one
person
affects the life of someone else. This morning, that slice of the Absolute was still very much alive in my soul. I was seeing not only you but everything there is in the world, unlimited by space or time.

When I had my sheep, I was happy, and I made those around me happy. People saw me coming and welcomed me, he thought. But now I'm sad and alone. I'm going to become bitter and distrustful of people because one
person
betrayed me. I'm going to hate those who have found their treasure because I never found mine. And I'm going to hold on to what little I have, because I'm too insignificant to conquer the world.

When we boldly seek love, love reveals itself to us, and we end up attracting more love. If one
person
loves us, everybody loves us.

Quote of the day
All love that has not friendship for its base, Is like a mansion built upon the sand. Love, to endure life's sorrow and earth's woe, Needs friendship's solid masonwork below.
