" "

If you want to strengthen your faith, you will need to soften inside. For your faith to be rock solid, your heart needs to be as soft as a feather. Through an illness, accident, loss or fright, one way or another, we all are faced with incidents that teach us how to become less selfish and judgmental, and more compassionate and generous. Yet some of us learn the lesson and manage to become milder, while some others end up becoming even harsher than before. The only way to get closer to Truth is to expand your heart so that it will encompass all humanity and still have room for more Love.

عرفتُ أُناسًا قد يصابون بالجنون لو تُركوا وحدهم لساعات طويلة.أما أنا، فكان الأمرُ عندى على عكس ذلك تمامًا.قد أُصابُ بالجنون لو كان على مُرافقة أناس لوقت مديد. سأفتقد عُزلتى.
