The path that leads to the life you want is full of challenges that you don’t want. - Orange Book
At one point in my life, at least deep down within my heart, I thought somewhere out there there was a career, a field of work, a way to make a lot of money without working hard, without expanding to a more educated, energetic, skilled, and thoughtful person; and this belief that there was a short-cut, so to speak, has been gradually torn away to pieces — it has been destroyed painfully and thoroughly.
Now, bruised and humbled — I would love to think that I am wholly convinced there is no such path. The world is so designed that us humans and animals alike should get acquainted with the universal fact that life has its inevitable hardships. And that only by embracing this fact, by growing spiritually, will we appreciate also that life is full of joy and meaning. To always keep in mind the words of Kahlil Gibran of The Prophet, that:
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
