Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.
Only when we realize that there is no eternal, unchanging truth or absolute truth can we arouse in ourselves a sense of intellectual responsibility.
You have learnt something. That always feels at first as if you had lost something.
If we go on explaining we shall cease to understand one another.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
I think people generally are lost, as they keep thinking about what is going to happen and what they have done. They are not alive anymore. The art of listening is missing. In their head, they are doing something else.
We have to realize only in communication, in real knowledge, in real reaching out, can there be an understanding that there's humanity everywhere, and that's what I'm trying to do.
That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way.
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
If we learn to understand each other, we will have a better understanding of ourselves.
